RE: You got it. Nice people.

The original Quintessence guy's name was Frank Sousa.(spelling ?) He had two different basement locations until he moved to a B&M in Naperville in the early 80's. His first basement location was in Downer's Grove in the late 70's. At least that was the timeframe when I first discovered Quintessence. I'm sure the name has been passed along to new owners over the years. FWIW, Frank was a big fan of Vandersteen, Shahinian Obelisks and Mordaunt Short back in those very early "basement" days.
