He was helped at first by some of his brothers and around 1891 was joined by his two nephews, Louis and Charles Chapuis. Louis took the name of his adoptive parents. By 1895 the business had outgrown the Seven Sisters site and a new factory was built in '''Newcastle Place''', '''Clerkenwell'''.

Il fut aidé au début par quelques uns de ses frères et autour de 1891 fut rejoint par
ses deux neveux, Louis et Charles Chapuis. Louis prit le nom de ses parents
adoptifs. Vers 1895 l’affaire avait dépassé le site de Seven Sisters et une nouvelle
usine avait été construite à Newcastle Place, Clerckenwell. A partir de 1905 le
marché s’étendit à l’Amérique et cette activité supplémentaire nécessita de
construire une nouvelle usine en 1913 au 72 Rosebury Avenue.
