The company advertising claims an "Established " date of 1869 (some material cites 1868) and that they were the "Oldest Liquor House in Kansas City." Most likely the company began life as Spengler Bros., which stops listing at about the same time as this one begins.

The company used the brand names:
"Bondhouse", "Clarke's Rye", "Guckenheimer Pennsylvania Rye", "Hermitage", "Honey Drop", "J. S. Monogram", "John Spengler's Straight Whiskey", "Old Crow", "Pride of Delaware", and "Schenley Pennsylvania Rye."
