The United States of America

is a country of immigrants. Most Americans can attribute their citizenship to a family member who decided to leave their home country – and their family – to pursue a better life in the United States. In 1912, Ignace Naryniecki immigrated from Poland to New York City. With the help of his sponsor, a family member from Poland, Ignace decided to start his own business. Seeing opportunity in the bustling city around him, Ignace started a window cleaning company in the early 1920s. He married Mary Naryniecki and raised two children. His daughter, Stella, worked as a stenographer for an attorney in the Bronx in the late 1930s. Stella’s boss mentioned that her father should have an Limited Liability Company set up to protect his personal assets from any work-related liabilities. Grateful for the help, Ignace filed his corporate papers with the State of New York – and Cameo Window Cleaning LLC was born.
