Pergamon
Pergamon lies on the north edge of the Caicus plain in the historic region of Mysia in the northwest of Turkey. The Caicus river breaks through the surrounding mountains and hills at this point and flows in a wide arc to the southwest. At the foot of the mountain range to the north, between the rivers Selinus and Cetius, there is the massif of Pergamon which rises 335 metres above sea level. The site is only 26 km from the sea, but the Caicus plain is not open to the sea, since the way is blocked by the Karadağ massif. As a result, the area has a strongly inland character. In Hellenistic times, the town of Elaia at the mouth of the Caicus served as the port of Pergamon. The climate is Mediterranean with a dry period from May to August, as is common along the west coast of Asia Minor.
Pergament Home Centers
In the 1990s, Pergament closed its New Jersey stores and focused its business on its stores in the five boroughs of New York City. These stores would eventually close with the liquidation of Pergament's inventory in 2001. 
Pergament carried a full line of paints, and the house brand(s) were usually on a 2 for the price of one sale. They were made by the Hoboken Paint Company, which was partly owned by Pergament. Lumber, tools, wallpaper, electrical supply, flooring and window treatments were also on the menu in the stores.
Co-founder Murray Pergament would visit the stores from time to time in the 1980s. He would inspect the men's bathroom as part of his tour. In his estimation, it was said at the time: "if the bathroom was clean then the store was being well run."
