| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The manufacture of large quantities of beer and other causes have stimulated this branch of business far beyond its former limits. These gentlemen started the business in Etna and now have over 18,000 tons, embracing three ice houses of large dimensions on Harris' Island, near the W. P. Railroad. A patent elevator is used for handling the ice, operated by an engine and boiler of 16-horse power. During the ice harvest they employ 100 hands, in summer about eight. The firm consists of H. &. J. Wittmer, both born in Germany : the former in 1825, the latter in 1843. George
Wittmer has a farm of 62 acres in Salor township, which he works and where he resides. They also have a grocery in
connection with the ice business and keep a general stock. |
