Fifty Years of Continuous

The Geyer Adams Company, embarked in the wholesale grocery business
September 1st, 1869 - fifty years ago - and during that period has
enjoyed a successful and growing career.
John E. Geyer was the original founder of the business, under whose
sole directing hand it was operated until 1881, under the name of
John E. Geyer & Co., when John Dudley Adams, now deceased, acquired
an interest in the business, and the firm name changed to Geyer &
Adams, under which it operated until 1891, when it was incorporated
as the Geyer & Adams Company, with John E. Geyer, President and
Adolph Geyer, Vice President and Secretary.
During the entire period of fifty years, John E. Geyer, though now
past 87 years of age, has taken an active part in the company's
business affairs, and is now seen daily at its offices, conferring
with managing heads, and mingling with friends and the trade.
Your future patronage is solicited - and new accounts are always
welcomed with open arms. In return, we assure you a service and
business relations that will merit your trade.
John Dudley Adams, Former Partner, now deceased. |
