THE GOTTFRIED BREWING COMPANY, Archer and Stewart avenues
This company was organized and chartered in June, 1882, with Matheus Gottfried, president; Ferdinand Gundrum, vice-president ; Charles L. Reifschneider, secretary ; and John H. Weiss, treasurer. In 1870, Mr. Gottfried bought out a small establishment at his present location, on the corner of Archer and Stewart avenues, at an outlay of $30,000, and commenced the manufacture of beer. In 1872, he built an ice house, and in l879 added another. In 1884-85, he erected a new brewing establishment, with refrigerators and engine-room, and an addition to his ice-houses, and now has five beer cellars with a storage capacity of about twenty-five thousand barrels. This brewery is in every respect supplied with the latest improvements of which many are his own inventions in beer manufacturing, and the sales of the company average now fifty thousand barrels annually.
