Series: 2. Bottling Plant
: The Bottling Plant records are a large part of the collection. Most of these records
are from the Milwaukee bottling plant, which was managed by Torchiani & Kremer on a
contractual basis. Eventually the bottling plant emerged as a separate corporate entity
owned and controlled by the Blatz Bottling Company, but managed by John Kremer, who had
married Louise Blatz, the adopted daughter of Valentin Blatz. This series documents the
change over time in the items produced, including non-alcoholic beverages that became
more prominent as the temperance movement grew in popularity. The records document many
transactions that were unique to a bottling plant for this period. For example, empty
bottle journals track the empties that customers brought back to the plant. The Bottling
Plant general journals, general ledgers and cash books are useful for more details about
bottling plant transactions. Order journals contain detailed labeling and bottling
information.
Most of the Bottling Plant records date from 1895 to 1900, and
include in-depth information about materials such as bottle washing devices or cork
barrels that were used in the bottling plant. Of particular interest are the receipts
for the bottling plant, which have diagrams of the latest machines, bottle wrappers, and
different types of bottles used in the plant. Also included are advertisements and the
costs associated with publishing Blatz ads in several national newspapers. The records
also include engraved letterhead and receipts with detailed drawings and pictures from
companies throughout the United States. The receipt and invoice records clearly
illustrate the nature and extent of Blatz's business relationship with other companies
in Milwaukee and elsewhere, albeit for only a short period of time.
All are
from Milwaukee, Wisconsin unless otherwise noted.
