ADVERTISING CARD FROM A PROMINENT LOS ANGELES MEATPACKER
An invitation "to witness my fine display of holiday meats" on December 22 and 24, 1894 at the premises of Simon Maier at 149-151 North Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles. Printed on the recto only of a heavy card (4 3/8" x 3 3/8") with beveled edges.
Born in Munich, Simon Maier (1853-1931) migrated to the United States with his brother Joseph (1851-1905). Involved in the mining business in South Dakota for a time, the brothers came to Los Angeles by way of San Francisco in 1877. Both established themselves as leaders in the business community: Simon as the owner of the Pacific Coast Beef and Provision Company, the largest meatpacker west of Kansas City, and Joseph as partner of the successful Maier & Zobelein Brewery.
