We are 100 years removed from the start of WWI and we are in the 99th year since Schoverling, Daly & Gales began its downward spiral commencing with the death of H.A. Lindner's son Ernst Lindner in July of 1915. In 1899 Schoverling, Daly & Gales completed an expansion which engaged at least 2 lifts/elevators, steam heat & light from their own power-plant and/or generator. They spent some time in 1888 at a temporary location at 325 Broadway Street, NY but moved back to the corner of 302 - 304 Broadway Street & 84 Duane Street occupying some portion of J. Everdell's Old Establishment at 302 Broadway, founded in 1840 & W.J. Syms & Brothers Weapons outlet at 300 broadway, New York City, possibly also founded circa 1840. So by the turn of the 20th Century Schoverling, Daly & Gales was occupying the oldest sporting weapons headquarters in New York, U.S. of A advertising as: "The fitting is equal to a Purdey, Grant of any gun. They will stand nitro powders and be as sound after twenty years' use as when the first shot was fired."
