In 1849 Fritz Bally and his brother Carl Franz Bally took over the braces and elastics production from their father Peter Bally . In 1851 they expanded the company to include shoe manufacturing, which involved considerable risks and investments. In 1854 Fritz Bally left the company after disagreements. Together with his brother-in-law, he continued the “Schuh-Elastique-Fabrikation” under the name “Bally & Schmitter” in Aarau . The company was liquidated in 1903 by the son Eugen Bally II.
