 * Keep Joseph Spiegel founded a major business, Spiegel (catalog), and I believe the references in the article now show that he is meets GNG. More information will be available offline as he died around 1918:
 * Reference 1 https://www.immigrantentrepreneurship.org/entry.php?rec=140 is about Modie J. Spiegel, but the "Family and Ethnic Background" section is mostly about Joseph Spiegel;
 * Reference 7 David M. Delo, Peddlers and Post Traders: The Army Sutler on the Frontier. (Kingfisher Books, 1998) has in depth coverage of Joseph Spiegel's time as a US Army sutler on pp. 122–123;
 * Further reading: Orange A. Smalley and Frederick D. Sturdivant, The Credit Merchants: A History of Spiegel, Inc. (Carbondale, IL: Southern Illinois University Press, 1973) which is available at https://archive.org/details/creditmerchantsh00smal/ and also has significant coverage of Joseph Spiegel.

 * Keep founded a significant company that pioneered catalog retailing. It needs more on his business accomplishments. Patapsco913 (talk) 01:23, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
