Established 1842(?). Around 1880, Morris Flatau Sr. was clerking for Sam Weichselbaum in his saloon at 93 Cherry St. By 1884, he is shown as manager of "Flatau & Co., Whisky" at 85 Cherry St. Three years later, S. Altmayer & Co. were wholesaling liquor, cigars and tobacco at that address with Morris and Isaac Flatau as salesmen.
