A factory, specializing in men's work boots, was built at 43 Queen Street South and later a new factory was erected on Linden Street where "Chums" shoes for children were manufactured and sold nationally. While in Berlin on his honeymoon in 1882, Ahrens was persuaded by his father to join him in shoe manufacturing. He then went to Iowa and specialized in making fancy harness for harness racing.
