Hi,My sister-in-law's grandmother Dorthy Fleischli ran a approval service for many years called Springfield Philatelic out of the basement of her home at 803 s. Fayette ave. Springfield il. In 1961 Harry Weiss and Dorthy joined forces and called themselves DORHAR Philatelic Enterprises. First 3 letters of Dorthy and the first 3 letters of Harry. That lasted until 1966 when Harry passed away. Shortly after that Dorthy's husband retired and they moved to Fl. ending her involvement with stamps.John

It may interest you to know that Harry Weiss was one of three inductees into the APS Hall of Fame in 1967. Your sister-in-law's grandmother and DORHAR are mentioned in his bio.
