"Shortly after settling in Houston, John Bering’s sons, August (1827-1920) and Conrad (1830-1915), founded A. Bering and Bros., a lumber mill and retail lumber yard. According to an analysis of the industrial advantages of Houston published in 1898, lumber was “only second in importance to cotton. A moderate estimate of the lumber handled, sold and made up into house material by the dealers and mills of Houston would be about 100,000,000 feet.” This lumber company was very successful. "Before the turn of the 20th century, Houston’s population was growing rapidly, causing an increase in the demand for housing. As the suburbs of Houston rapidly filled up with “tasteful homes for the masses,” two of Conrad and August’s nephews established C.L. & Theo Bering, Jr., Inc. (1870-1932), sold all sorts of products including mantels and tile, furniture, dishes, crockery and hardware. They would import items such as Haviland china sets from Limoges, France and then, stamp the store’s name next to the manufacturer."Plates are in very good preowned condition with light wear, NO chips or cracks. Will be packaged well for a safe arrival.
