By 1911 Henry and S. G. Lindeman were joined on the board by Benjamin H. Stern, who served as secretary; Alfred Dolge wrote that Samuel G. Lindeman's son Gillis was poised to join the firm and seemed to possess a particular talent for the trade that he had learned under Henry Lindeman. H. & S. G. Lindeman filed a petition to increase their capital stock from $100,000 to $150,000. and moved into a "new and commodious factory" on Fifth avenue occupying the entire block between 142nd and 143d streets, measuring 80 feet by 195 feet, and three stories high which gave them about 50,000 square feet of space. "The Music Trade Review" described it as "one of the finest factories to be found in the uptown manufacturing district" and projected that it would increase their output by 50 percent.
