In 1898 Hugo's address was II Obere Donaustrasse 47, his father's address and the same address listed by brother Moriz at his marriage in 1891. In 1900 the address was Obere Donaustrasse 45.

In late 1901, the firm Sam. & Jac. Reif, II Grosse Mohrengasse 3, formally deleted the name of Jacob Reif from its officers (he had been deceased for quite a while; co-owner and brother Samuel Reif had died in April 1900). Added to the roster were Hugh Reif and Hermann Reif (son of Jacob). Wiener Zeitung, Dec. 4, 1901, page 26.
Per notes from conversation with Ileana Bentia Wexler (recorded by her daughter Janet Lindner), Hugo Reif, Ileana's great-uncle, owned a pretzel factory.
