Yup! The funny thing is that the Community itself barely made silverware; their big industry in 1880 was traps for fur-bearing animals. But the silverware business grew bigger and bigger (especially after the remaining members, many of whom turned to spiritualism after the community closed up shop, stopped holding seances with Noyes for business advice...) and eventually took over entirely.
