C. Peters
Company Names, addresses, dates1,3:
  C. Peters, Bottler, [address unknown] (c1859-c1861)
  C. Peters, Saloon owner, 233 7th W (1865)
Notes:
Charles Peters was born about 1820 in Germany2.
The 1860 Census listed his occupation as "Bottling Ale".
The earliest reference I have to Peters was an announcement made November 4th, 1859 in
the Evening Star newspaper, where Chas Peters,
Arny & Shinn
, and W.N.H. Maack
announced that they had all agreed not to give more than 16 bottles of Mineral
Water, Ale, Porter or Cider for half a dollar3. I guess "price fixing"
was an acceptable practice back then.
The only place I've seen Peters in the City directories is as a saloon owner at 233
7th Street West in the 1865 directory.
Other saloon owners at that same address include:
  Charles M. Floyd (1864)
  Lewis Walter (1866)
