L.G. Schemrich

1903—1909

The first time L.G. Schemrich appears as a bottler is in the 1903 Dun & Bradstreet (Mercantile Agency, Sep. 1903). Schemrich’s bottling works was located at least close to Marshall Street, as in 1905 he had a driveway dug from it to his plant (“L.G. Schemrich,” 1905). In 1909, he was located more exactly at the corner of 4th & Marshall Streets (R.L. Polk & Co., 1909).
