The House of Gerly Parfumeur, Ltd. (product of Howe Company, California) was headquartered at 6705 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, California; also mistakenly reported as Ferly. 

The Gerly Perfumes were at first only distributed on the west coast, and handled by Marvel Products Company, Studio MA12, 1023 North Sycamore, Hollywood, California.

In 1935, their products were no longer confined to the west coast, their products were now distributed in the territory east of the Rocky Mountains by Merz-Mihm Company, located at 38 West 32nd Street, New York City.

In a 1932 publication Gerly's address was listed as 210 Central Bldg., 108 W. 6th St. Los Angeles, CA.
