| TEXT | This firm was established in 1865, consisting of John Bower, Frank Bower and Win. Entermann, and so continued until 1875, when it was dissolved by the death of Mr. John Bower, and the business continued by his executors and the remaining partners until 1888, when Mr. Win. Entermann retired, leaving the estate of John Bower (represented by Mrs. John Bower and Chas. H. Bower, and Frank Bower composing the present firm. This establishment is one of the largest and most complete of the kind in Philadelphia, it covers an area of over 200 square feet and bounded by Twenty-fourth, Brown and Ringgold streets. Their retail market is one of the finest in Philadelphia, and they handle only fresh meats of their own killing and are at present slaughtering six to eight fine cattle weekly in addition to about 400 hogs per week the whole year through. During the winter of 1890 and 1891 they have made very extensive improvements by doing away with the old fashioned ice houses and putting in two large Ice Machines, built by the Buffalo Refrigerating Co., having a capacity of twenty tons each per day. With this complete machinery they can cool the sixteen cellars in addition to three rooms above ground, having a temperature of 34 degrees to 36 degrees. In addition to the ice machines they have a 75 horse power Fitchburg Engine which runs the elevators, saws wood for smoke-houses and runs the chopping machines. The sausage department is located entirely separate, having a cement floor and kettles for cooking and
smoke-houses, and is one of the most complete in Philadelphia. The principal business is the curing and smoking of hams, which is verv extensive and the reputation of the Bower Hams being second to none in the country. The establishment contains seven large smoke-houses which in summer time are taxed to their utmost in turning out the smoked hams. The lard made by this firm is strictly pure and kettle-rendered and like their hams is always standard
and can be relied on. |
