Press photo of Joseph J. Mascuch (1896-1986) in his mansion at 63 Sagamore Rd, Millburn. Mascuch was an inventor and industrialist, who held over 165 patents and the head of Breeze Corporation and Victory Engineering Corporation. The Victory Engineering Corporation was founded in 1942, for research in the medical field. In 1970, his net worth was over 50 million dollars. He allegedly had Gloria Swanson's gondola-shaped bed in his home and another bed given to him by Mussolini before the war. His house was the topic of news stories. Of note, was his indoor swimming pool, which cost $250,000. He was also a big game hunter.
