HOTELS.

HOTEL ALLEN .- The first boniface of Allen- town was George Wolf, who kept a tavern on the site of the Hotel Allen from 1762 to 1768. In 1773, the house was known by its sign, "The King of Prussia." About 1800, John Fetter built a two-story structure on the site, and in 1810, George Savitz became the proprietor and called the inn, "The Square and Compass." He was landlord until 1818 and was succeeded by Daniel Kramer. Subsequent proprietors were George Haberacker, Charles Seagreaves, Samuel Gump- pert, 1836-40; David Heller, Reuben Moyer, Charles Ihrie, David Stem, T. H. Good, 1849- 53; William Craig, David Kiefer, Reed & Yohe, J. F. Newhard, Robert D. and W. C. P. Kramer, 1869-77; W. C. P. Kramer, 1877-78; Col. T. H. Good, 1879-85; Mullen & Ross, 1886-1890; and John H. Harris, 1890-1906. In 1906, John C. Schwartz and Carson W. Masters became the proprietors, and the property was im- proved, so that to-day there is no better equipped

hotel in the Lehigh Valley. The building is of six stories, with a frontage of 40 feet on Hamil- ton street, and a depth of 100 feet on Seventh street. It contains 150 rooms, some with pri- vate baths, with all modern conveniences, and the service and cuisine are of the best. During the summer months, the "rustic porch garden," where an excellent orchestra entertains the guests, is a great attraction.

AMERICAN HOTEL .- In 1810, Abraham Gan- gawere built a two-story frame building at Sixth and Hamilton streets, where he kept a tavern for many years. He was succeeded by Jacob Stem, Charles Craig, John Gross, and Jonathan Kolb. Charles Seagreaves then became the owner and called the place, "The Northampton Inn." He enlarged the building by adding two stories and a brick addition. The stage coach line, of which Mr. Seagreaves was one of the owners, made its headquarters at the tavern. An alley formerly adjoined the hotel on the east, which space was later added to the building. The hotel is now five-story, 90 by 220 feet, and is owned by George W. Seagreaves, son of Charles. After Charles Seagreaves relinquished the management, the landlords were John Y. Bechtel, 16 years; Col. T. H. Good, 1865-67; Tilghman W. and W. P. C. Kramer, 1867-69; Jos. F. Newhard, 1870-84; Howard A. Hayden, and the owner, George W. Seagreaves. The present proprietor is J. Frank Jones. The hotel is noted for its excel- lent cuisine and is well patronized by commer- cial salesmen and the travelling public.

PENN HOTEL .- In 1810, George Rhoads opened a hotel in a frame building on the present site of this hostelry, which was later kept by Adam Miller, in 1845; Thomas Ginkinger, Eph- raim Yohe, Samuel Henry, Tigher & Henning, and John Cole. The building was then occupied as a grocery store for eight years, and re-opened as a hotel in 1879 by Bittner & Hartman. Joseph Hartman, the owner, was proprietor for some years, and was succeeded by Wm. J. Gilbert. Later C. D. Strauss conducted it, and the present landlord is H. M. Hillegass. The building, a four-story brick structure, is located at Seventh and Linden streets.

LAFAYETTE HOTEL .- The first tavern on this site, at 133-137 North Seventh street, was built by John Moll about 1812. It was then known as "The Black Horse Tavern," and was later kept by Daniel Moyer, and Aaron Shifferstein. A Mr. Gangaware then conducted it for some ears, followed by his son-in-law, Samuel Moyer. Owen Keiper then became the owner and con- ducted it until his death, after which his son, Allen, conducted it until his death. The widow, Mrs. Ann Keiper, then conducted it until 1885,

when Kressley & Guth became the proprietors until 1893, when Albert J. D. Guth became the sole proprietor, and conducted it until his death in March, 1904. He was succeeded by the pres- ent proprietors, his sons, Elmer A. and George E. K. Guth, conducting the business as Guth Broth- ers. The hotel has 60 rooms and all modern conveniences.

HAMILTON HOTEL .- This building was erected as a private residence by John Evans, Esq., in 1819. At his death, a few years later, it was converted into the "Court House Hotel," by George Haberacker, who kept it a number of years, and was succeeded by men named Kramer and Bittenbender. In 1855, Hon. Henry King purchased the property and resided there, and in 1865, Hon. John D. Stiles became the owner and resided there until his death. His son, C. Fred Stiles, re-established it as a hotel and the present proprietor is H. H. Smith.

CITY HOTEL .- In 1871, William Yohn built this hotel, who kept it for a time, and was suc- ceeded by B. F. Yost and others. It was then called the Centennial House, which name was changed to the Kramer House by W. P. C. Kramer in 1879, and subsequently to the Mer- chants Hotel and the City Hotel. C. C. Kocher is the present proprietor.

The Bellevue Hotel, at 402-404 Ridge avenue, the West End, at Chew and Madison, and the Walton, at Eighth and Tighman streets, are the largest among the hotels in outlying sections of the city. Other hotels are: Union, Franklin, Germania, Columbia, Sterling, Lehigh, First Ward, Mansion, New Bingham, Acorn, Fair- view, Grand, and Mt. Airy, with others of lesser size.

Several hotels that existed for many years are worthy of mention. The Eagle Hotel, at the northwest corner of Seventh and Hamilton streets, was built in 1832, by Jesse Grim. Its landlords were Christian Copp, Jacob H. Ritter, Reuben Strauss, Tilghman Good, George Wetherhold, James Trexler, under whom it was burned down in 1848 and rebuilt, Eli Steckel, James Eschbach, Thomas Lichtenwalner, Henry Bachman, Moses Schneck, Valentine Weaver, Sieger & Weaver, Sieger & Hottenstein, Levi Hottenstein, and Hot- tenstein & Sons.

A famous hostelry of the past that existed over 130 years, was the Cross Keys, at the northwest corner of Eight and Hamilton streets. As early as 1772, Henry Hagenbuch kept a tavern there in a stone building, later replaced by a brick building, and owned by Jacob, Benj. J. and Chas. Hagenbuch until 1872, when Reuben M. Gernert became the owner.

The Black Bear Hotel stood on the site of

Hess Bros. store. In 1869, it was called the Bal- liet House, kept by Asa Balliet. In 1879, W. R. Drumbore was the proprietor. It was suc- ceeded by the Grand Central Hotel, kept by Vic- tor D. Barner.

A hotel at the southwest corner of Seventh and Linden streets was kept by John Nicholas Fox from 1772 to 1809. Other landlords were Jacob Mickley, Michael and Peter Schneider, Abr. Beidelman, Abr. Gangewere, Michael Rice, Reuben Moyer, and Henry Leh, under whom it burned down about 1859 and was not rebuilt.

The Golden Lamb, on Water street, near Lawrence, was kept by Caspar Kleckner, Fred. Kocher, Gideon Fusselman, and Thomas Totten until 1830. Barthol Hittel kept a tavern at the southwest corner of Eighth and Hamilton streets in 1781, where Elizabeth Kauffman conducted it in 1812.

Capt. John F. Ruhe kept a tavern from 1812 to 1820 at the east side of Seventh street, between Hamilton and Linden, called "The Rainbow," and later in a building on Union street, above Seventh. The "Hornet's Nest," on the northeast corner of Seventh and Walnut, was a famous hostelry, kept by John Miller and John Weil. The Mansion House, formerly known as "The Spread Eagle," was kept from 1815 to 1825 by Derheimer Bros. Henry Gross kept a tavern on the site of the Germania as early as 1812. The "Bull's Head," the resort of gamblers, was built about 1829, at Fifth and Linden, by John Reaser. It was kept in 1814 by Wm. Rinker and in 1840 by Michael Rice. The Rising Sun was at Tenth and Hamilton, and the Anchor at Seventh and Liberty. Caspar Kleckner built the "Lumber- man's House," near the Lehigh, about 1817, which stood until a few years ago, and in 1833 built the Lehigh House, which he kept until 1841, when his son-in-law, John G. Schimpf, kept it until 1858. In 1843, D. H. Washburn opened a temperance house in J. F. Ruhe's former hotel on Union street. A tavern was kept at Worman's Spring from 1821 to about 1855 by Conrad and Abraham Worman, and Edwin Keiper, and in 1867, the Mansion, later the Fountain House, was built there by James Crader and Peter Burns. It was kept by R. P. and W. P. C. Kramer from 1872 to 1875, and later by Samuel Adams, and was in operation about twen- ty years.

BREWING AND BOTTLING.

LIEBERMAN BREWERY .- In 1845, John Oberly embarked in the business of brewing lager beer at Allentown, and then established his brewery at the northwest corner of Sixth and Union streets. He carried it on until 1864, when Joseph Lieber-

man became the owner. The place was then called the "Eagle Brewery," and Mr. Lieberman conducted it successfully until his decease in 1900. His sons, Joseph A. and Charles L., then continued the business under the name of Joseph Lieberman's Sons until 1910, when an incorpo- rated company was organized as The Lieberman Brewing Company, which has carried on the busi- ness until now. Employees number 18; the an- nual capacity is 20,000 barrels. A bottling works is connected with the brewery.

KERN BREWERY .- The next brewery was started about 1860 by Leopold Kern on Lawrence street, between Seventh and Eighth and he car- ried it on for twenty years. A man named Frank- lin, of Easton, then became the owner, and Charles Ritter carried on the business as lessee for several years, when it was suspended and the building was converted into dwellings.

DAUFER BREWERY .- This brewery was started on North Eighth street, No. 16, in 1869, and the beer vault was established on a large lot at Jef- ferson and Laurence streets, by Henry Koenig and his brothers-in-law, George D. and Francis Däufer, who traded under the name of H. Koen- ig & Company. They continued the business there until 1876, when the plant was removed to the lot where the vault was situated and they erected a brick hotel building and a two-story frame brewery. The enlarged plant was car- ried on under that name until 1890, when it was changed to Däufer & Company, and it was conducted by Däufer & Company until 1911, when it was sold to Martin E. Kern. In the beginning the capacity was 2,000 barrels of lager beer ; this was gradually increased and in 191I it was 12,000 barrels. The Dæufer Brewing Company was then incorporated and the plant was rebuilt, enlarged and equipped with the latest improvements. Employees number 24; capacity 40,000 barrels. A bottling department is at- tached.

NEUWEILER BREWERY .- In 1878, Benedict Nuding built the Germania Brewery on South Seventh street, at the rear of the hotel of this name, with a capacity of 4,000 barrels, and con- ducted it until 1900; then Lewis F. Neuweiler became associated with him and they traded under the name of the Nuding-Neuweiler Brewing Com- pany until 1900. The capacity was increased to 20,000 barrels a year. Neuweiler purchased Nu- ding's interest and substituted his two sons, Charles and Louis, Jr., in his place, and since then the business has been carried on in the name of L. F. Neuweiler & Sons. Owing to their rapidly in- creasing trade, a block-square of land was se- cured at Front and Gordan streets in 1911, when a new plant was started, thoroughly equipped

with the latest and best machinery and completed by April, 1913; and they removed to their new quarters on April 28th. They employ 40 hands. Their annual capacity is 50,000 barrels. The bottling department was started in 1906; its daily capacity is 100 barrels.

WISE BREWERY .- James Wise established a

1860, and his son, James, followed him until 1866, when he removed the plant to Fourth and Hamilton streets.

CLAUSS BOTTLING WORKS was established by L. D. Clauss at 318-20 North Franklin street, Allentown, in 1900, for manufacturing and dis- tributing "soft drinks." The building is three- story, 60 by 120 feet. He employs eight hands and has two teams and two auto trucks for dis- tributing his production throughout Lehigh coun- ty and the adjacent territory of the surrounding counties.

GOUNDIE, MOLL & Co .- In 1898, Goundie, Moll & Company began a bottling business in East Allentown. In 1902, they were succeeded by Frank Guth, who carried on the works for three years. Then Charles H. Wittman became the owner and he has since operated the place, employing from 7 to 10 hands.

Nearby, at Front and Court streets, Arbogast & Bastian have carried on a factory since Dec. I, 1911, employing two men, who make 300 barrels weekly.

The Lehigh Barrel Works was started by Levi Uhler in 1905 and operated by him for three years. He was succeeded by Schaffer, Christ & Piehl, from 1908 to 1911; by Charles Sauber from 1911 to 1912; and by Harvey & Ward from 1912 to 1913, when it became a repair shop.

BOTTLE WORKS .- The manufacture of flint bottles at Allentown was started in 1901 by the Standard Bottle & Glass Company, at Sumner avenue and North Sixteenth street. The plant was operated two years, when it was purchased by the Allentown Flint Bottle Company, a Pennsyl- vania corporation, capitalized at $20,000. In 1905, the plant was destroyed by fire, but it was rebuilt immediately and enlarged to sixteen shops.

KEYSTONE BARREL WORKS, ALLENTOWN.

KEYSTONE BARREL WORKS .- Joseph Hitzel started the manufacture of kegs and barrels in 1905 at Nos. 11-27 North Railroad street, and carried on the small factory for a short time, when he was succeeded by H. & M. Swoyer, who conducted the place till 1910; they were succeeded by Moses Swoyer from 1910 to 1913; and since then Frank Hitzel, son of Joseph, has conducted it as a branch of his Bethlehem factory. He em- ploys in the several plants about twenty people. The success of Mr. Hitzel is due in large meas- ure to his own detailed knowledge of the manu- facturing end of the business. He had learned the cooper trade from his father, Valentine, when a lad of fourteen. The trade which Mr. Hitzel built up extends all over eastern Pennsylvania and into New Jersey.

The product is medicine, liquor and soda bottles, in sizes varying from one-half ounce to a quart, and the trade is mostly local. This enterprise employs 140 men and boys. It is situated along a branch of the L. V. R. R. The officers are : E. W. Fox, Reading, president; L. R. Roth, treasurer; and C. F. Nester, secretary, both of Allentown.

CIGARS.

Some of the earliest manufacturers of cigars at Allentown were John Eckert, Owen Blumer, Samuel Nonnermacher, John F. Ruhe, and Charles Ruhe. John F. Ruhe was succeeded by his son, Charles A., and Charles A. Ruhe by his sons, Joseph, Charles, and Frederick, who

were followed until now by Edward, John and George.

William Nonnermacher (son of Samuel), was in the business from 1870 to 1910, with James Smith as a partner for the first several years. The factory was on Hamilton, near Hall. He sold the store to the United Cigar Co., but his son, Frank S., and Frank W. Bear became his succes- sors and they have since manufactured cigars on Lumber street, north of Chew.

The oldest surviving cigar-maker, aged over 80 years, is Simon Snyder, on Seventh street, south of Walnut.

Josiah Werley has been in the business at No. 939 Hamilton street since 1887; and Edwin S. Gerhart at No. 31 North Tenth street, since 1894.

HUNSICKER & Co .- In 1882, Francis P. Hun- sicker embarked in the manufacture and

completion of their building at Ridge avenue and Green street, in 1911. The factory is 120X42 feet. It is a three-story brick building. The firm employ about 200 people. They manufacture the famous "Councillor Cigar."

Recent extensive manufacturers at Allentown are Victor Thorsch Company, Bondy & Lederer, "44" Cigar Company, and Bayuk Bros. Company.

There are about forty small manufacturers.

The U. S. Revenue from cigars made at Al- lentown for the year 1913-14 was $482,505.

CIGAR BOXES .- In 1876, John M. Stevens em- barked in the business of manufacturing cigar boxes on South Church street and he carried it on until he died in 1900. Then A. H. Balliet became the owner and removed the plant to Lumber and Chestnut streets, where he conducted it suc- cessfully until 1907, when his increasing trade re- quired him to provide larger quarters. He ac-

sale of cigars at 727 Hamilton street, and continued there with increasing success and trade, gradually extending throughout Lehigh and the surrounding counties for thirty years. Then enlarged accommodations became necessary, and in this behalf he secured the premises on North Seventh street, adjoining the Allentown National Bank building, where he erected an II- story stone structure, the highest, if not the finest, store and office building in the prosperous city of Allentown, which has become generally recog- nized as the "Queen City of the Lehigh Valley," on account of its fine stores and banks, and its enterprising merchants and manufacturers. He employs 17 hands, and produces annually five millions of high-grade cigars.

ALLEN R. CRESSMAN SONS, extensive cigar manufacturers of Pennsylvania, have a branch factory located in Allentown since 1909. The firm was located in the Nagle building until the

cordingly erected a large and substantial five- story brick factory at the corner of Franklin and Warren streets, 80 by 160 feet, and equipped it with the most improved machinery. He has a large local trade and employs from 250 to 275 hands. He also produces large quantities of py- rographic boxes and novelties, and hosiery boards. Since 1907 he has also been engaged in producing cigar box lumber, importing the cedar logs from Cuba. His yard extends to Fifteenth street, where great and costly piles of logs can be seen in stock. The annual capacity of his plant is 12,000,000 feet. Frederick W. Doll has been superintendent of the works since 1904; and C. S. Frederick manager in the office since 1910.

In 1892, Edwin H. Diefenderfer started man- ufacturing cigar boxes at the rear of No. 727 Hamilton street, where he continued until 1905. He then removed to the rear of his home, No. 219 North Jefferson street, where he has car-

ried on the business until now. He employs sev- eral hands. His trade is local.

PAPER BOXES .- Wm. H. Ryan, Wm. R. Klein, and E. W. Gilbert have traded since 1879 under the name of W. H. Ryan & Company, in manufacturing paper boxes of all kinds; employ from 50 to 70 hands.

H. T. Rose and R. M. Rex were also engaged in the business for some time.

Allentown Paper Box Company was organized in 1914 (March) by Louis E. La Roche, H. O. Ritter, and R. H. M. Rhoda. Their plant is at 42 South Church street, Allentown. They em- ploy 35 hands and manufacture daily upwards of 5,000 paper boxes of various sizes.

GAS WORKS.

Gas was first introduced in the town by Dr. William F. Danowsky, who erected small works on his own lot for household use in 1850 .* Not long after this he was induced to supply a few merchants and others in his im- mediate neighborhood, and for this purpose laid zinc mains along the north side of the street in the block in which he resided, Hamilton street, between Seventh and Eighth. His experiments proved completely successful, and a great desire was kindled among the people to have this meth- od of lighting generally adopted. The capacity of the works was of course small, yet a portion of those desiring gas in various parts of town could readily have been accommodated if it had not been for Dr. Danowsky's inability to meet the heavy expense of laying street mains. The novel idea was suggested in this emergency that persons desiring the use of the gas should pro- vide themselves with gum or leather receptacles to be kept in their cellars or other convenient places to connect with the house or service pipes, and these receptacles were then filled as often as they became exhausted from a huge rubber bag, which, after being filled at the works, was carted about to the residences of consumers. Such was the beginning of the use of gas as an illuminator in Allentown.

In the course of a year or so Dr. Danowsky, yielding to the requests of many citizens, erected works on a much larger scale than the original ones, on the old school lot next to the jail. Zinc mains were laid along Hamilton street to Ninth, and on several other prominent streets. The business grew steadily and prosperously. In 1853, Mr. Nathan Laudenslager became asso-

ciated with the originator of the works, and soon assumed superintendence of them. Dr. Dan- owsky having numerous applications to erect gas- works in other towns, concluded to sell out his interest here, and to accept the engagements of- fered him elsewhere, which proved to be quite remunerative. He found ready purchasers in Messrs. Blumer, Line & Co., who, with Mr. Laudenslager, became the sole owners in 1859. Prior to this time, however, Danowsky and Laudenslager erected the works on Jordan creek, at Fourth and Hamilton streets, which were rendered necessary by the increased consumption of gas in stores and dwelling-houses.

Mr. Laudenslager remained in partnership with Messrs. Blumer, Line & Co. until 1871, when he sold to them his half-interest. There were at that time about eight miles of iron pipe in use, the zinc ones having been discarded in 1854. The consumption reached nearly a mil- lion cubic feet per annum, which was paid for at the rate of three dollars and fifty cents per thou- sand feet. About this time a charter was granted for a new company, but no organization was made under it, and the only effect was to cause a reduction in the price of gas. In 1872-73 the gas-works, near the depot, were built, and the company thus obtained greatly increased facilities for the production of gas. The company had a large number of patrons, and did quite a suc- cessful business, but at length became very ser- iously involved in other enterprises they were carrying on and failed. The works were sold by the sheriff in 1878, and William W. Kurtz, of the firm of W. W. Kurtz & Co., bankers and brokers of Philadelphia, became the purchaser. The business was conducted by him until 1882, when the works passed into the possession of a company, incorporated January 3d of that year, under the title of the Allentown Gas Company, with a capital of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The incorporators were William W. Kurtz, William B. Kurtz, M. L. Kauffman, Robert Iredell, Jr., C. W. Cooper, A. J. Martin, E. S. Martin, William H. Sowden, and H. K. Kurtz.

Bethlehem and Catasauqua became merged with Allentown, Dec. 23, 1913, and from that time the business has been conducted under the name of the Allentown-Bethlehem Gas Com- pany.

The total production at Allentown for the year 1913 was 180,000,000 feet of gas. The plant at Allentown comprises four gasometers with a total capacity of 1,400,000 cubic feet. The total length of mains is sixty miles.

John A. Frick has filled the position of vice- president and manager at Allentown since 1908.

*It may interest some to know that the first city in the United States lighted with gas was Baltimore, in 1821. Boston followed in 1822, and in 1823 the New York Gas- Light Company was started, although not in operation until 1827.
