COMFORT & JOY 
Makers of Fine Potions, Powders, and Unguents for Beauty and Health
founded in the 1880s by Mrs Erasmus Comfort and Mrs John Joy, 
formerly the Misses Alexandra and Wilhelmina Brewer.

They started the business in their kitchens, making a hair potion 
from a recipe that had been handed down from mother to daughter in 
their family for generations; gradually they added to their product 
line while increasing their sales, and had to expand into a shop, and 
then into a factory.

For some reason, I envision their Hogsmeade shop as an *orgy* of 
cheap faux Victoriana, like Muggles like me love even tho' it's so 
vulgar, but the wizarding folk have so much *real* Victorian 
(probably including their Diagon Alley shop and their factory) that 
they probably don't indulge in faux Victoriana.

NEWCOMBE & BALMER, ATTORNEYS
A famous firm of 'attack lawyers': Willa Newcombe nee Weasley is 
the Gryffindor and Madeleine Balmer nee Moon is the Ravenclaw, and 
another witch, Robin Steele, a Slytherin, is their investigator.
