The factory was successful in using machines in addition to manual labor to produce violins and various other stringed instruments. Many were were well made and some of his best independent work in Paris won awards in various countries. He often used the names of his own workmen or other made-up names on his labels. With offices in Paris and New York, JTL continued to expand and prosper supplying thousands of violins of various grades throughout the world well into the 20th century.
