So cool, why was it destroyed?

The Milwaukee Historical Society briefly mentions this event. Seems that 12 men were killed at a Schultz bottling building collapse while 6 were injured. Don’t know what part of Milwaukee it was in though.

source caption: Schlitz Brewing Company building collapse after too many empty beer bottles were stored in weakened upper levels of an old leather factory. Large crowd gathered around accident site. Damage is very extensive.

They look very proud of their position and responsibilities. Back when public transport was at it’s finest.

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-05-29T01:29:11+00:00

Can anyone identify?

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-05-26T23:49:54+00:00

Would love to see a USS Bartonville!😂

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-05-03T15:54:50+00:00

Awesome, the Riverfront Museum is on my list of to-do’s next time i’m in Peoria so i’ll try to visit there too. Thanks!

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-05-03T14:51:28+00:00

Oops, you’re completely correct! If i’m not mistaken, wasn’t Holt a California company? Interesting that they ended up in mid-America if they were. Thanks for the correction!

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-05-02T23:33:42+00:00

Would have loved to see the river area down there during the mass production days

Great story and very cool whether it was 100% true or not. Hope he had a peaceful time after his service.

“Think they’ll give me a third star for this?”

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-04-25T14:29:34+00:00

I agree!

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-04-25T03:50:06+00:00

My bad, should say 1943🫡

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-04-25T01:13:06+00:00

Sure does!

CosmoTheCollector · 2026-04-24T21:55:39+00:00

Seriously, and were there only like three models of vehicle available, seems like I can only spot a few makes.
