Text Box: Morris and Sigmund Stern immigrated to the United States from Germany at the end of the 19th century because their Bavarian village was too small  to contain their dreams for a better life. Even as teenagers, the brothers knew that people who succeed in business create their own opportunities. Morris and Sigmund Stern settled in Sioux City, Iowa, and began working at a department store. They quickly realized they needed to start their own business if they wanted to get ahead. The brothers developed a plan to buy large, inexpensive plots of land, which they divided into small parcels and sold to farmers. By 1917, they had accumulated $300,000 from their land deals. They used the money to found their investment banking Firm – Stern Brothers & Co. – in Kansas City, Missouri, their hometown. Today Stern Brothers & Co. stands as a financial powerhouse and leader in the field of public finance investment banking, with offices in St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri; Chicago, Illinois; Denver, Colorado; Los Angeles, California; and Tampa, Florida. The business tenets and entrepreneurial spirit that served Morris and Sigmund Stern so well in 1917 remain very much alive at Stern Brothers & Co. today.     Click here for information on the Stern Brothers & Co.
