In August of 1926, Reiss-Premier Pipe Co. purchased [[Kaufman Brothers & Bondy]] and a year later the [[Kaywoodie]] pipes began to sport the Drinkless stinger.  By 1928 Reiss-Premier had moved their production to Union City, New Jersey, and in December of that year were granted a patent for a cigarette and cigar holder. The following month the company moved again, purchasing the factory building of Paul G. Mehlin & Sons, piano manufacturers and taking over a part of that four story building.  

After Reiss-Premier Pipe Co. became Reiss-Premier Corporation they continued to innovate, and in 1947 trademarked the "Synchro Stem" system used on decades of [[Kaywoodie]] pipes.
