In 1857 they built their first carriage. They soon received a contract to build several hundred wagons for the United States government. To meet the sudden demand, the Studebackers developed a special process to quickly age their timber and were able to complete the contract as well as expand their business. Clement and Henry’s brother, John, had been traveling through California and returned to South Bend and began working for the company. Meanwhile, Henry retired to his newly purchased farm. John and Clement were so successful at building and selling wagons that they needed to recruit their brother, Peter, to help with the operation by building a showroom in Goshen. During the Civil War, the Studebaker Company supplied the Union with wagons, providing the brothers another opportunity to expand their operations. After the war, another market emerged as they sold wagons to the millions of Americans moving westward. By 1868, the Studebaker brothers' annual sales were over $350,000 and they officially formed the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
