"So five of the Gier brothers, (John Lambert remained in Nebraska) worked together with some outside help. Engelbert superintended. Soon plenty of orders came for year-around work. E. & H. then bought an entire (vacant) city block of 300 x 300 feet, erected a large shop. By the time the firm had been in existence about eight years from ten to twelve workingmen were permanently busy in the establishment."
