OUR FOREBEARS
Life was no bed of roses for that venerable patriarch, Hans Herr, when he brought his family to Lancaster in 1709.
When he loaded his Conestoga Wagon in Philadelphia for the hazardous sixty-five mile journey to this city, it was then the farthest settlement west known as Hickorytown.
This family of farmers and artisans who had migrated from the Palatinate brought with them the necessary tools to immediately set up a blacksmith - shop on the tract they were clearing. This shop soon became the center of the local industrial, political and social life.
From this humble beginning the foundation was laid for the succeeding ten generations to build a highly regarded wholesale hard- ware, contractor and industrial supply establishment.

SENSENICH
ORIGINAL HOME OF SENSENICH PROPELLERS.
The Sensenich organization was formed over twenty-five years ago by Harry and Martin Sensenich. First as a partnership with Harry managing the business and Martin in charge of all manufacturing and testing. In March of 1947 the Sensenich Corporation was formed with Harry as President and Treasurer, also General Manager and Martin as Vice President and Secretary, also factory superintendent.
In the past quarter of a century more than 400,000 light aircraft propellers, test clubs, wind tunnel fans, helicopter main and tail rotor blades and hundreds of experimental units for civilian and Military use have borne the famous green and gold winged Sensenich trade mark.
During World War II, Sensenich furnished approximately 80% of all wooden propellers used on the Military Primary trainers and Liaison aircraft.
A diversification program was started in 1950. Included in the program were such items as hard maple work bench tops, kitchen counter tops, locker room bench tops, etc. At the present time, approximately 50% of the total sales is derived from wood products.

The Lititz Record-Express
The Lititz Record-Express prides itself upon being one of the oldest institutions in the Warwick Union Area. Published continuously since 1877, this weekly newspaper has endeavored to print all of the news when it's news impartially and without prejudice and to couple a thorough news coverage with intelligent editorials in support of all that is worthwhile in our trading area of Northern Lancaster County.
The late John G. Zook first published The Sunbeam, a magazine and forerunner of The Express, during April 1877. A few weeks later the late Frank Buch began publication of The Record. The two newspapers were consolidated in 1937 into The Lititz Record-Express.
And as eighty years ago, The Record-Express endeavors to be alert to sponsor and editorially support that which makes our community a better place in which to live.
The plant of the Record-Express is located just east of the General Sutter Hotel where we always welcome visitors. Drop in at any time and see how a weekly newspaper comes into being each week of the year!

WEAVER'S RESTAURANT
For nearly the past eighty years, the site of what is today known as Weaver's Restaurant, North Broad Street opposite the Springs Park, has been a place for the serving of good food!
And while the historic records are not complete, it is known that John A. Smith first ran a confectionery store at this address back in the early 1880's. Ten years later, in the 1890's the confectionery store had included a Junch bar and was being operated by the Killian family.
At the turn of the century it was operated by Elmer Ritchie until 1914 when Wayne Longenecker took over management of the restaurant and operated it until his death in 1935. Longenecker's specialized in oysters and seafoods and was famous throughout the county. Longenecker's practice of keeping water- melons in a trough in the Lititz Stream surreptitiously provided many kids of that day with free watermelons.
From then until 1948 the restaurant was continued by various owners. At that time, it underwent a complete modernization and was re-opened on April 21, 1949 by T. Fred and Marion Rosenberg Weaver, the present owners.
And although one of the most modern restaurants in the county at this time, the restaurant was further improved a year later when it became the first fully air-conditioned place of business in Lititz.
As result of the purchase of the building last September, Mr. and Mrs. Weaver plan further changes and improvements in fulfilling their pledge to present Northern Lancaster County with the best in fine foods.

Spruce Villa Dairy was founded by J. Clayton Brubaker in 1905. One of the first to deliver milk to the homes in glass bottles.
Spruce Villa was the first in this vicinity to sell milk from all TB tested cattle also the first to insist on blood tested cattle for milk production.
In 1934 after years of experience with all breeds, a herd of purebred ayrshires was selected as the finest in quality. Ayrshire milk has perfect balance.
The Grand champion ayrshire of 1954 Pennsylvania State Farm Show is in this herd.

REFRIGERATION IN LITITZ - 1756-1956
"Pilgerhaus" built in 1862 by George Klein on the site of Hershey Apartments, Main Street, had one of the first of cool- ing systems (a spring house) located on its property.
Ice for the "ice box" era of Lititz came from the Bricker Ice Dams located north of Lititz. Warehoused in sawdust during winter months, it was sold door to door from special built ice wagons as pictured above.
Through the years, different locations in the vicinity of Lititz were used as dam sites for the production of ice. Among many local people connected with the ice business were George Klein, John Schoen- lein, John Bricker, John Yerger, Albert Gochenaur, Rueben Dull, Chester Ruth and Ellis Kauffman.
The first artificial Ice Plant was built in Lititz in 1920 by Jacob Stober on the sight of a former Livery Stable in North Alley. He operated it until 1930 when it was purchased by J. M. Leed, the present owner.
With the advent of the electric refrig- erator there is little demand for ice.
In 1938 the ice storage rooms were rebuilt and enlarged for zero storage to accommodate individuai locker patrons and large bulk storage rooms.
Lancaster County vegetables are frozen and stored then shipped out in refriger- ated trucks to cities on the eastern sea- board and as far west as Chicago.

NEW YORK
BEAUTY SALON
Seventy-six years ago, in 1880, Richard Hudnut opened his first drugstore in New York, featuring high-quality cosmetics under his own name. Nowhere in the United States was there another drugstore like it. Floored in black and white marble, its decora- tions styled from the period of Louis XIV, Richard Hudnut's store soon became a showplace.
Just one year earlier, Dr. Joseph Lawrence, in St. Louis, achieved success in the world-wide search for a non-caustic, non-poisonous germicide. This formula has since become known the world over as Listerine Antiseptic. Jordan Wheat Lambert, a young phar- macist, realizing the advantages of making this product available in packaged form, sought rights to the formula and in 1881 signed a royalty agreement with Dr. Lawrence.

Out of these beginnings came the present-day far-flung Richard Hudnut and Lambert Pharmacal organizations.
This year all Hudnut operations, merged with Lambert operations, are being moved into their modern manufacturing plant in Lititz which has been especially designed for cosmetic and toiletry production.
LAMBERT-HUDNUT'S MANUFACTURING PLANT AND OFFICE BUILDING
Thus, the businesses that started in a drugstore in New York and a laboratory in St. Louis have taken on complexity. But still today, all Lambert-Hudnut products ... Listerine antiseptic and tooth- paste . . . Richard Hudnut shampoos and home permanents . . . DuBarry cosmetics and Sportsman toiletries for men, to mention just a few . .. must, to paraphrase Richard Hudnut's original motto, "answer to the best standards of quality and beauty."

THE ORIGINATORS OF THE SIMPLEX BOX
SIMPLEX PAPER BOX CORPORATION PENNSYLVANIA
LANCASTER
From "Modern Packaging Magazine" 1955
In 1905 a group of civic minded residents induced a small printing plant to locate in Lititz. In its first year of operations small quantities of folding and setup boxes were produced on home made equipment, making it one of the pioneer folding box manufacturers in the United States. There were fifteen em- ployees at that time.
Today, the direct descendant of this small company employs one hundred and seventy five men and women and operates two of the most modern setup and folding box plants in the country. It enjoys the reputation for producing quality and precision made packages which are distributed nationally.
