The business which traded under the firm name of Heimbecher & Jung, continued to operate as such until October of 1919, when Mr. Heimbecher purchased his late partner's interest from his estate. It has since been carried on as 'C. Heimbecher.' … As is well-known this firm has specialized in the manufacture of Upholsterers' Furniture. Their biggest customer was Snyder Brothers of Waterloo and next to it G. Hachborn & Co."
