Metropolis of Pergamon
The Metropolis of Pergamon () was an ecclesiastical territory (diocese) of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in western Asia Minor, modern Turkey. Christianity in the city of Pergamon (modern Bergama), was introduced already from 1st century AD, while the local Christian community comprised one of the seven Churches of Asia mentioned at the Book of Revelation, written by John of Patmos. The bishopric of Pergamon was twice promoted to a metropolis: during the 13th–14th centuries, as well as for a short period in 1922. Today the "Metropolis of Pergamon and Adramyttium" is the see of a titular metropolitan.
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."
