It's just a family business that grows with the family and the business. People marry in have kids, kids marry, etc. At some point the family becomes one of the local businesses folks go to for a job. Jobs get bigger, "family work" becomes more attractive, etc. Scale starts being a problem only when you start to get in competition with other criminal enterprises or have to deal with more aggressive law enforcement. Maybe you can argue that halflings don't have the level of ruthlessness necessary to compete in that environment, but they are noted for being practical and ferocious in defense of their family. It doesn't seem like that big of a stretch for such an organization to gain considerable influence almost by accident.</blockquote>
