S.H. Rosenzweig's Bottling Works
Company Names, addresses, dates1:
Sarah H Rosenzweig, 1211 7th street NW (1895)
Sarah H Rosenzweig, 2100 11th street NW (1896)
Sarah H Rosenzweig, 218 4 1/2 street SW (1897-1898)
Notes:
I've seen some instances where a bottling business seems to have been taken
over by a wife (presumably due to the death of a husband), but this is a
rare case where it appears that the business was owned by a woman from the
start.
The 1896 residential directory lists both Sarah S. Rosenzweig and Rev Emanuel
Rosenzweig at 2100 11th NW, although only Sarah has the word "bottler" by
it. Then the 1897 directory lists both Sarah H. Rosenzweig and Samuel H.
Rosenzweig as bottlers at 228 4 1/2 SW. I wonder if Emanuel and Samuel
were her brothers?
