Letterhead of Johannes Eckart’s company, dating between 1887 and 1899. The manufacturing plants as well as the sales and administration building are clear to see.

Two lines of the Eckart family are especially worthy of interest, the first being the line which was continued by Carl August Eckart. This line is closely linked to the coaching inn "Goldener Hirsch" (Golden Deer) in Emskirchen and could be dubbed the "postmaster line". The second line, whose members became highly successful factory owners, descended from David Eckart, captain of the Landwehr (land defense) and keeper of the inn "Schwarzer Adler" (Black Eagle) in Emskirchen. This line could be dubbed "line of entrepreneurs".
