In 1872, they entered business together, starting the Yondorf Brothers clothing store. By 1887, the year the Yondorf Block and Hall was constructed, the brothers owned two stores. One was located on Blue Island Avenue on the Lower West Side of the city and the other at Larrabee and North in the heart of Chicago's German-American shopping district.]
