Bills and letters sent to the Eberhardt and Ober Brewing Company. Ten of the bills are for work on wagons, including lettering wagons. One bill is for making canvas wagon covers; two are for making kegs and barrels. Two bills are for making frames for cards of some sort. All the bills have decorative billheads: a window awning for the company that made the wagon covers; a framed picture for the company making the frames; barrels for the cooperage; and different kinds of wagons and carriages for the wagon makers and painters. Most of the bills are from businesses in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and the picture framer was in Pittsburgh. The letters and a few of the bills are from the Pictet Artificial Ice Company of New York, which supplied machines to make ice and machines to provide refrigeration for warehouses, packing houses, and breweries. In 1883, Eberhard & Ober purchased a refrigerating machine from Pictet, which was installed in their new brewery, which opened in 1884. A number of the letters are in regard to specifications for the machine being furnished. Later, Pictet solicits a testimonial letter from the brewery about the machine. A diagram of some machinery appears on the back of a letter dated Sept. 17, 1885. A picture of some sort of machine appears on the letterheads.
