Yawman andGustav Erbe, two former employees of Bausch and Lomb of Rochester, New York, formed a partnership and formed their own company, Yawman Erbe in 1880, in Rochester, New York. These two men would build Yawman Erbe to be one of the worlds largest office furniture manufacturing firms in the world. The following is a brief history of the Yawman and Erbe Mfg. Co. as printed in the company magazine The Y E Idea, of March, 1909: THE STORY OF Y AND E A brief History of The Yawman Erbe Mfg. Co. In the beginning of the year, 1880, two young men Philip H. Yawman and Gustav Erbe were, and had been for some time, employed by a Rochester concern: Mr. Yawman as their Master-mechanic, who gave most of his attention to the making of fine tools and the designing of new, special machinery, revolutionizing old methods by the introduction of new and, at that time, radical ideas. ![]() Erbe, then Foreman of a Department, himself a thorough mechanic and one who was constantly thinking out new ideas looking toward the improvement of tools and machinery. It had frequently occurred to them that they could do equally well for themselves what they were doing for others, and they were constantly agitated by a consuming desire and ambition to have a business of their own. Neither one found entirely within himself all the requisites to success, and they felt drawn to one another as two men having the same idea in common. This resulted in frequent discussions of the matter, and it soon developed to a point where all that was lacking to the launching of these young hopes and fears on the sea of business was satisfactory evidence that the psychological moment had arrived for the two men to join hands for good or ill--to do and dare for themselves. ![]() A firm agreement, requiring strict adherence to high principles, whether it was in their manufactured product or the management of their affairs, was entered into. This policy, at the very beginning of their career, dominated the administration of the business and is still the leading factor in any and every thing pertaining to Y and E. The firms total capital (6,000) was very soon invested in tools and machinery, and the manufacture of microscopes and other scientific instruments was begun. ![]() He was Robert Schmidt, who is still in the employ of the Company as Superintendent of the Canadian factory at Newmarket, Ont., known as The Office Specialty Mfg. Co., Ltd., with executive offices at Toronto. In about six months the first full-fledged workman was engaged, whose support seemed assured through a slight increase in business. But both partners were somewhat discouraged, and it was never known from one week to another whether the frail craft would weather the sea. In the latter part of 1881 an inventor of an electric battery for medical purposes brought in his model and arranged for its manufacture. At first these were made by the dozen; then by the gross; and later by the great-gross, the inventor conducting their sale. In this electric battery was the turn of the tide and the beginning of real, tangible success. Business increased to such an extent that it was found necessary to get larger quarters, and, accordingly, the next.
