At the time of his marriage to Ethel Mae Fox, in 1906, he was a cigar maker with his father, John Anthony Endris. (His military draft registration of 1918 lists him still working for his father as a cigar maker.) While he, at first, went into that business on his own, by 1920 he owned and operated a grocery store. He and Ethel had nine boys; one of whom (Mellvin) died one month short of his 7th birthday. In 1927 his partnership with his brother Paul (Endris Bros. Grocery) was dissolved, as Paul sold George his interest and became a field representative for a large wholesale grocery business. The 1930 census lists his occupation as a filling station attendant. In 1930, all eight of George and Ethel's living sons are single and living at home. The oldest (Cecil) was 23 and the youngest (Bill) was 4 yrs and 10 mos. At one time, during World War II, there were six sons serving in the military. All six survived the war. From as early as 1940 (until the time of his death in 1950), he was in a partnership in a tavern and in the catering business.
