Butchers

I do not know what type of butcher Johann Bernard Petermann was That is, I do not know if he worked in slaughter houses or butcher store.

Peter Goehle was a butcher in a store in 1910.


Harper's Weekly, September, 1877

The exportation of dressed meat and live stock from America to Europe has lately grown into an extensive business. Less than two years ago the experiment was first tried of placing the beef and mutton of this country in the markets of Europe, and after much doubt and opposition a New York firm succeeded in sending a cargo of this perishable freight to England and landing it is such good condition that it readily sold, realizing a handsome profit.

During the eighteen months from October, 1875 until March, 1877, the dressed meat sent from new York amounted to 29,604,670 pounds.

The meat sent is invariably the finest Western corn-fed cattle, which are brought alive to this city, and killed just before shipment.
