Schoverling, Daly & Gales spanned the spectrum. August Schoverling & Henri Pieper were very chummy(they were the same age) and Schoverling personally handled Pieper's accounts/wares until say 1890 when he developed heart issues and had to distance himself from the work. Remember they both worked at Hermann Boker & Co.(50 Cliff Street) and Charles Daly was at Tufts & Colley(Walter Tufts, Jr. & Charles Gates Colley) at the same time as George W. Van Tine, who was a pillar at Hermann Boker & Company for say 20 years.
