THE PRETZEL, LITITZ' MOST FAMOUS INDUSTRY
2 166
ALEZ. / TISDALE, PRES
Depending on which historian you consult, pretzels began to be baked commercially in the United States sometime between 1810 and 1850. Most agree that the year was about 1820, the baker was John William Rauch, and the place was Lititz.
The pretzel was not new, for it had been in- vented many centuries before. Most pretzel experts say it started with an imaginative monk, sometime around 910 A.D., probably in northern Italy or southern France. Taking left over bread dough, the monk fashioned an object meant to depict a child with his arms crossed. The result- ing tasty mersel, fresh from the oven, was given to youngsters who had learned their lessons well. The Latin name was "pretiola", meaning "little reward."
The first pretzels, being of bread dough, were soft and tender. But they had to be eaten while fresh, like bread. Legend has it that a sleepy baker's assistant let a batch burn crisp, and his master discovered the accident had brought a new deliciousness to the pretzel-as well as im- proved keeping qualities.
From its minor beginning here in Lititz, the pretzel has grown into big business. Last year there were an estimated 250,000,000 pounds of pretzels baked in the United States and Canada. Interestingly enough, of the more than ninety bakeries turning out pretzel products, sixty were here in Pennsylvania.
Rauch's bakery, where the American pretzel got its start, was located just across from what is now the post office, where the Reedy building now is. Henry Rauch, son of the founder, took over the bakery, then sold out to Julius Sturgis, one of his employees. Sturgis improved pretzel making techniques and moved the business to its present site opposite Linden Hall, opening for business in 1861. The Sturgis bakery has been in continuous operation to the present time, with several changes in ownership. Present owner is John Hubley, who has installed continuous gas fired ovens, automatic pretzel twisting machinery-the oldtime hand twisted pretzel will soon be a thing of the past.
About 1890, Thomas Keller started a bakery in the rear of Front Street, close to the line of the Reading Railway. This business was taken over by P. B. Bucher and Samuel B. Erb, who built the bakery adjacent to the Lititz Springs Park. It was taken over by James. J. Huebner, then Louis Haines, and is now corporately owned and known as Lititz Springs Pretzel Co.
Other local manufacturers have been William Kissinger. James Sturgis, David Habecker, and Edgar Sturgis. The latter built the bakery in the rear of 323 E. Main Street and conducted it for a number of years. It is presently operated by Phares L. Kofroth.

The Bicentennial Committee wishes to thank the many people, in addition to the committee members listed above, who have helped to make the celebration a success. Because there are so many who have helped, it has been impossible to list them individually, but their tasks have varied from supplying photographs and text for this bicentennial book, to telling out-of-town friends about the celebration in Lititz. With- out the committees and the many others, a successful celebration wouldn't have been possible.

The Worlds Oldest and Largest Manufacturer of Animal Traps
The story of the ANIMAL TRAP COMPANY OF AMERICA begins in 1823 in the village of Oneida Castle N.Y., where, as a lad, Sewell Newhouse watched blanketed Indians from the nearby Oneida Reservation come to his father's blacksmith shop to exchange furs for rifles, and the desire grew in him to make something which he could use as barter with the Indians. Sewell loved hunting and he experimented and worked until he had fashioned the scrap iron from the blacksmith floor into traps, which, though crude and hand made on the forge, worked very well and were the marvel of the surrounding country. The Indians wanted traps and Newhouse wanted furs. They exchanged and the trap industry was born.
The trap business flourished for the next half century during which time the plants at Oneida and then Sherrill, N. Y. were enlarged and then a branch plant was built at Niagara Falls, Canada in 1896 to supply the rapidly growing demand for traps in Canada.
About this time a plant was commencing operations in Lancaster, Penna. producing mouse traps, and also a plant in Abington, Illinois. These two plants were combined in 1906 and the business was consolidated under the name of Animal Trap Co. in Lititz, Pa.
Succeeding years proved that the spirit of Newhouse and his early helpers to make more and better traps was still alive. The Animal Trap Co. grew steadily and expanded. A two-story brick and steel general office building was erected and shortly thereafter a three-story glass, brick and steel engineering and factory office building was completed. Gradually the steel, and mouse and rat trap businesses of other companies were purchased and consolidated with the Company at Lititz. A line of hand garden tools was added and then followed a line of duck decoys produced from wood, then from molded fiber and finally from tenite plastic with all three types being produced today.
It was a natural step from the manufacture of molded fiber decoys to molded fiber floral containers and various custom molded pulp articles so that today the Animal Trap Company is one of the largest producers of these articles in the country.
The Animal Trap Co. now has three plants producing steel game traps, mouse and rat traps, hand garden tools, duck decoys and floral containers. The parent plant is located in Lititz, with branch plants in Pascagoula, Mississippi and Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
