We know very little about Mrs. Halpern except that she worked for Con Ed when she was young and with her $500, Mr. Halpern started Polychrome. The first Polychrome logo with three crossed ink knife was said to have been designed by Mrs. Halpern. She was the company secretary for a long time but was very quiet and
remained behind Mr. Halpern. But as Simon Chu recalls, when there was an opportunity she did not hesitate to speak her own mind eloquently.
