The company expanded beyond Yokohama, opening a second branch in Kobe and a boutique in London and then in the United States through GW SHELDON & Co, thus strengthening its international presence. The company's success came to an abrupt end in 1923 with the Great Kantō Earthquake which devastated Yokohama, causing significant financial losses for Arthur & Bond.
