Austin became known for his quality work, and by 1904 incorporated his business as the Samuel Austin & Son Company. Wilbert J.

The Austin Company grew rapidly during World War I and was able to stay solvent following the stock market crash of 1929, mostly due to the firm's major contract to build the Gorky Automobile Plant in Gorky, Russia.
