The following is taken from the "Pittsburgh and Allegheny Illustrated Review: Historical, Biographical and Commercial". It was published by J M Elstner & Co., Pittsburgh, PA., in 1889:
Albert Bertalott. -Importer and Wholesale Liquor Dealer; 1015 Liberty Street.
This old established and prominent liquor house was founded in 1848 by the firm of M. McCullough, Jr., & Co., who were succeeded three years ago by Mr. Albert Bertalott, the present proprietor. He occupies for warehouse purposes the three-story and basement building, 35 x 160 feet in dimensions, at 1015 Liberty Street, where he keeps constantly on hand a heavy stock of pure old rye whiskies, such as Gibson's, Guckenheimer's, Finch's, Dillinger's, Sherwood, Large's and many other brands; a specialty being made of McCullough's pure 0. K. old rye whisky. He is also a direct importer of champagnes, Rhine and Mosel wines, clarets, French liqueurs, port, sherry, brandy and gin and other goods. Having had many years' experience in the wine business in Europe, he is thereby in direct communication with foreign houses. Mr. Bertalott also recently commenced to handle the celebrated Bohemian, Bavarian and Standard larger beer, manufactured by the Bartholomay Brewing Company, of Rochester, N. Y. and carries a large stock of this superior beer constantly on hand. It is put up in barrels, half-barrels, and quarter barrels, and can be found on draught at the best places in the city. Their "Export Beer," in bottles, is shipped to nearly every State in the Union, and is especially adapted for hotels, restaurants and family use. It is guaranteed to be pure and healthy, and has the recommendations of some of our best physicians. The beer department is managed by Mr. William Risser (formerly of the Bartholomay Brewing Co.) whose experience in this business is well known. At the house, employment is given to a force of twelve competent clerks and assistants, and a staff of experienced traveling salesmen represent Mr. Bertalott throughout Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, where he maintains the highest reputation for fair and honorable dealings and the superior quality of goods handled by him |
