In 1879 the firm began selling type using American Point system of standard type sizes in an age when most foundries cast in their own sizes. A year after A. P. Luse died in 1891, the foundry became one of the twenty-three foundries that merged to become American Type Founders. After the merger Marder, served as Western general manager. (en)
