Joseph Fuhrer & Sons. - Wholesale Dealer in Wines and Liquors; 3701 Butler Street.
This was the first wholesale liquor house in this ward, having been started in 1866 upon a small scale by Mr. Joseph Fuhrer, who was later joined by his sons, Messrs. Joseph Fuhrer, Jr., and William E. Fuhrer. Mr. William E. Fuhrer subsequently died, and the business has since been conducted by Messrs. Joseph Fuhrer and Joseph Fuhrer, Jr.
From its inception the enterprise has prospered, and the firm now occupies a handsome four-story building, 21 x 80 feet in dimensions, which was erected by the firm especially for the purposes of this business, and which is kept fully stocked with a complete assortment of fine imported and domestic wines and liquors, including McKim's, Gibson's, Guckenheimer's, Large's and other leading brands of whiskies.
The house has an extensive wholesale trade throughout Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, where it is in high repute for the superior quality of the goods handled by it, and the affairs of the firm are managed upon the most reliable and enterprising principles by the Messrs. Fuhrer, who are thoroughly informed in regard to every department of the liquor business.
Mr. Joseph Fuhrer, the senior member of the firm, was born in Allegheny County in 1835, during President Jackson's administration, and has been a lifelong, consistent and energetic democrat of the old school, and a prominent, substantial and highly esteemed business man and citizen. |
