Bing Corporation, a.k.a. John Bing (1910-1928?) were the New York-based US offshoot of the main Bing company back in Germany.
Failure and consequences
Bing Corp failed with massive debts in 1928, with its US ongoing business being taken over by a new company, Bing Wolf. However, the debts created by the failure, combined with the difficulty of continuing to operate in the increasingly anti-Jewish environment of 1930s Germany dragged down the parent company, and led to the main Bing company then going bust in 1932.
