Eisner Closes Doors After 67 Years

DALLAS Long-struggling Eisner Communications in Baltimore on Friday closed it doors after 67 years in operation.

Approximately 50 employees who lost their jobs on Friday did not receive their final paychecks, sources said.

Chairman Steve Eisner was the majority owner of the independent shop; he could not be reached for comment.

Attorney Jim Astrachan, speaking on behalf of the company, said Eisner would not file for bankruptcy, but would sell its remaining assets. Three vendor lawsuits filed against Eisner in the last month are likely to be settled out of court; the plaintiffs are Bright Ideas Advertising Specialties, Engine Performance and the National Geographic Society, he said.
