Henke & Maack
Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Henke & Maack, Corner Olive & Green Sts, Georgetown DC (1850-1853) 1,2
Notes:
William N.H. Maack
(1817-1904)3 and Louis Henke
took over the mineral water & vinegar factory at
Olive and Green streets
in Georgetown on August 21st 18501.
On Apr 15, 1851, Henke & Maack announced they had renovated their whole mineral water apparatus
4.
The announcement also had a request for "3 boys, colored, slaves preferred". It also said they
had a large supply of vinegar on hand - my guess is that they stopped manufacturing vinegar at
this time, as I've found no mention of vinegar from their company after this.
On January 10th, 1853, Henke & Maack announced they had disolved their partnership, and that
Maack would continue the business and pay off all their debts3. I don't know how long Maack
was the sole proprietor, but on June 27th of that same year (1853) there is
a want ad for a horse from
Maack & Arny
at
Olive and Green streets
11, so apparently Maack had quickly teamed up with
Charles Arny.
