His shop was at the corner of Johnson Street, and instead of Bianconi, he came to be called "Bian of the Corner." He was afterwards known as "Bian." Bianconi soon became well known after his business was established.

He became a proficient in the carving and gilding line, and was looked upon as a thriving man.

He began to employ assistants in his trade, and had three German gilders at work.

While they were working in the shop he would travel about the country, taking orders and delivering goods--sometimes walking and sometimes driving.
He still retained a little of his old friskiness and spirit of mischief.

He was once driving a car from Clonmel to Thurles; he had with him a large looking-glass with a gilt frame, on which about a fortnight's labour had been bestowed.
