Charles C. Stieff & Co. was a separate business from the silver company.  Stieff & Co. and another business, H. M. Justice Co. were “jobbers” that represented other companies wares as middle men / wholesalers to merchants. Stieff silver would of course been one of the products offered by the companies.

Offices for the two companies would have been on the upper floors of 17 N. Liberty Street. In 1913, Charles Stieff had a new handsome building erected at 311 Redwood Street. The offices of The Stieff Company as well as The Charles C. Stieff & Co. and J. M. Justice Co. moved to that building.
