Ohio

Springfield (1874-1915)
Notes: The entire record comes from a series of index cards (ex library) filled out by hand, by persons unknown. Most likely they were a librarian. Springfield is located 30 outside of Dayton so many of the companies list in the Dayton directories also.

Toledo (1870-1915)
Notes: Listings are based on entries under categories "Wines & Liquors, Wholesale" and in some years also "Wines & Liquors, Retail", for the following years: 1870-1871, 1875-1875, 1880-1881, 1885-1886, 1890-1891, 1895, 1900, 1905, 1906, 1910, 1914, 1915.

Zanesville (1877-1919)
