Thomas R. Beavers
Company Names, addresses, dates1:
Thomas R. Beavers, 617 4½ St. SW, Washington DC (1898-1901)
Thomas R. Beavers, 423 4½ St. SW, Washington DC (1902-1913)
Thomas R. Beavers, 620 4½ St. SW, Washington DC (1914-1916)
Mrs. Anna L. Beavers, 620 4½ St. SW, Washington DC (1917)
Notes:
Thomas R. Beavers was born 1867.
An ad in the February 24, 1904 Washington Post said he was a bottler of "Wash. Brewery,
Nat'l Capitol, Heurich's Beers".
An ad in the February 24, 1907 Washington Post
lists him is the proprietor of a Grocery and Liquor Store. It says "My own bottling,
12 bottles beer 40c, 5c rebate on bottles; net 35c.". I wish I could still get 12 of
his bottles for 5 cents!
He's listed in city directories under bottlers as well as under Wines & Liquors.
The fact that the directories showed a "Mrs. Anna L. Beavers" at the same address
in 1917 makes me think maybe Thomas passed away and his wife took over the business.
