Series: 3. Branch Operations
: The Branch Operations records contain different types of information from the
nationwide network of Blatz branches and depots. Branches and depots were storefronts
found throughout the country, which sold only Blatz beer to individual customers as well
as to local businesses. Branches were bigger than the depots, and consisted of offices,
warehouses, and a manager and staff paid by the home office. (For a more description of
branches and depots, see Appendix A.) The extent and nature of the information
concerning specific branches and depots is inconsistent; but together the records show
the intricate branch network that the Blatz Brewing Company had in place by the 1890s
and the relative autonomy of each of the branches in the way they did their
recordkeeping. Some of the records in this series were kept at the Blatz headquarters
while others were apparently maintained by branch or depot managers and shipped back to
Milwaukee along with other property when the branch or depot closed. The records also
document the national expansion of the company. Finally, the records are of particular
interest because they show the steady decline of the Blatz operation as the temperance
movement gained momentum and branches began to close.
