James Henry (J. H.) Kreitzer purchased stock in James Buoy's grocery store and it operated under the name Buoy & Kreitzer from 1881-1883. After 1883, Kreitzer became the sole owner of the business. J. H. Kreitzer Wholesale Grocer was located at 195 S. Front Street in Milton. In the 1890's, expansion continued with the addition of a warehouse and wholesale candy store (The Kreitzer Wholesale Candy Company).
This wooden box would have been used to hold and display pepper at J. H. Kreitzer Wholesale Grocer. The product would be scooped out and distributed to the customer.
This book contains photographs of Milton businesses and industries, many of which are no longer in operation. Spaces in the booklet could be purchased to advertise. The booklet is also composed of photographs of non-commercial properties and information about important moments in Milton's history.
