This was one of the companies that emerged from dissolution of the Whiskey Trust. It was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey.

Downard (1980) believes that distiller Julius Kessler and Trust President Joseph B. Greenhut were involved in running Standard. It was entrusted with running distilleries that had once been a part of the Trust and that had not already been incorporated into American Spirits Manufacturing Co, the related organization. Standard's assets included the Atlas Distillery (1898).

Standard ultimately became a part of National Distillers Products Corp.

Peoria directory notes:
D = Distilleries, L = Liquor Merchants (1856), W = Liquors, Wholesale, S = Saloons (1881). In the early years (ca 1863-1867) , addresses were often omitted (indicated by "nd"). There was a street renumbering, perhaps city-wide but evident in Washington addresses, in 1872/1873, with both old and new numbers indicated in the 1873 directories. The 1881 directory shows that Water St. has been renumbered. Directires are missing Liquor wholesalers for 1901, no distillers for 1904 or 1905. Several years are missing copies. There are no liquor-related entries for 1920. My directory copies include partial listings for Saloons for 1881-1886: they were not included here.
