Well, his father Robert died in 1931 and that was undoubtedly the end
of Theo's access to the family money, there is no reason to believe
Theo himself didn't try to keep the silly thing going. He was still
running newspaper ads in 1928-9, and still had a listing in the phone
book (under Shaw Advertising Company) till about 1930; maybe when the
Depression hit, he gradually folded up everything. It took till 1934
or 1935 (can't find my old notes) for the GG company to formally go
out of business, according to the file cards at the Dept. that
licenses corporations in Massachusetts.
