How Was "H&R Block" Named?

From Wikipedia:

H&R Block is a tax preparation and personal finance management company founded by brothers Henry W. and Richard Bloch in Kansas City in 1955 (they changed the name of the company to prevent mispronunciation). The Blochs founded the company in response to the Internal Revenue Service no longer completing tax returns for free. H&R Block has over 12,000 locations worldwide and serves over 20 million clients annually. The company services about 21 million clients in 21 countries. Their main office occupies an entire block at Main and 44th Streets in Kansas City.
