De kaarsenfabriek wordt teruggebracht naar De Posthoorn. De winkelruimte is kaarsenkamer waar de kaarsen gerold worden. Karel beheert de produktie terwijl Luis de verkoop voor zijn rekening neemt.

1887 het bedrijfje verhuist naar Sint-Huibrechts-Lille. Een deel van het bedrijf wordt ingericht als sigarenfabriek.

1901 Na het verdwijnen van de sigarenfabriek, verhuist de wasblekerij terug naar Hamont. De kaarsenmakerij wordt gemoderniseerd door Gerard, Henri & Jozef Spaas en de productie breidt uit. In 1901 neemt Louis samen met zijn broer Karel de kaarsenfabriek over van broer Theodoor. Verder wordt stoffenhandel begin 20e eeuw uitgebreid onder de naam "Confectie Magazijn De Posthoorn".
