From Magicpedia, courtesy of Genii Magazine:
U.F. Grant
(January 12, 1901- March 1, 1978), known as "Gen", was a magic dealer and inventor.
'Gen', or 'The Little General' as he is sometimes referred to, was a descendant of General U. S. Grant and is named for the General as well as the General's son.   Grant started in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where he created his first tricks. Later he moved to New York City joining the
Abbott Magic & Novelty Co.
, eventually settled in Columbus, Ohio creating his own firm, "U.F. Grant Magic".
In 1944, he partnered with
R.N. Menge
creating a line of products known as "
Grant and Menge
" or "G. & M." The partnership only lasted a year and they ended up becoming rivals.
He created a long line of pamphlet-type magic booklets, which were often affectionately joked about by magicians for their brevity.
Don Tanner
wrote directions for and illustrated many of the items marketed by the Grant company.
Grant was a member of the
IBM
,
SAM
, the Order of Merlin, and the Columbus Magic Club Ring 7.
Grant turned the business over to his daughter
