My great-grandfather was born in 1865. In 1891, he went to work for a battery company in Cologne, Germany. Started off as a technician in customer service, worked his way up to sales and contracts, opened the company’s first remote office in Danzig, Germany, and made a lot of money. He was able to build a fine home in the best part of town. Batteries in the 1890s and 1900s were the high-tech industry of the day.
