This building has always been a butcher shop.....for well over 100 years.......Giesler's Market, Heizel's market, and now Herrmann's Meat Market.
Adam Geisler came to this city in July 1866, direct from Rhenish Bavaria, Germany. He was 20 years old, but had learned the butcher's trade in Germany, and at once began business with Hilderbrand & Worley, soon after purchasing Mr. Worley's interest and becoming a partner of Mr. Hildebrand. This partnership lasted 7 years, when Mr. Giesler purchased the entire plant.
Clear amber, but heavily stained on the inside, glass bottle. The label reads, "Adam Reeg Druggist", and Coach Varnish is handwritten on it. Reeg's store was located on the S.E. corner of Ninth (9th) and Chillicothe Streets. Adam Reeg was a pharmacist for many years until his death in 1926. The date of the bottle is estimated from 1890s to early 1900s.
