Throwback Friday - Toledo, Ohio Old Advertisements I found this Easter Greeting from The Buckeye Brewing Company in Toledo, Ohio. Toledo-based Buckeye Brewery began its operations in 1838, just one year AFTER the city was incorporated. It operated for 134 years until it was purchased by the Miller Brewing Company in 1972. Buckeye claimed to be the oldest industry in Toledo and the second oldest brewery in America. From humble beginnings, the company grew into a major producer of beer by the 1870s. Buckeye anticipated future trends by building its own bottling plant at Michigan and Bush streets in 1895, improving upon the older practice of carrying beer home from the brewery in a growler. Buckeye survived the years of Prohibition by brewing a "near beer", bottling soft drinks, and offering its facilities to others for cold storage. Buckeye was the only Toledo brewery to survive World War II. This 1910 advertisement for Buckeye's famous Green Seal Beer explains on the back that drinking two pint bottles of this beer would not make you an alcoholic. Rather, as "prominent chemists" attest, it would furnish nourishment the equivalent of twelve ounces of potatoes, eight ounces of meat, five ounces of bread, or one pint of milk. • www.thegenealogyinvestigator.com *** #beerintoledoohio #beeroclock #fridaythrowback #toledoohio #ohiohistory #toledohistory #buckeyebrewery #buckeyebeertoledo #historynerd #ancestry #genealogy #thegenealogyinvestigator https://www.instagram.com/p/CfeO7aNu7-N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
