HISTORY
They manufactured grease, field manure, and high grade fertilizer. They collected waste material and dead animals from all around Cleveland as well as from the stock yards. Another plant of theirs, Farmer's Chemical and Fertilizer, was located on the adjoining property.
Also built on this site, around 1914, was a well which obtained gas from the Newburg sand (a porous layer of dolomite)[1]. The initial flow was for 12,500,000 cu.ft. and eventually 68 additional wells could be found in the immediate area.[2]
In 1917, bones could cost around 1/2 cents per pound. Shop fats around 3 to 5 cents per pound.[3]
Many of the residents who lived on Jennings Avenue and the adjacent neighborhood now known as Barbarowa were employed here.
In addition, the Stadlers also ran the Farmer's Supply Store on Pearl Street in South Brooklyn. Farmer's could obtain virtually everything needed from major equipment such as buggies, wagons, sleighs, harnesses, and feed mills, to tools and appliances.
The owners, John L. and Henry Stadler, (brothers of August W. Stadler) also had stables on West 14th Street on the south side of Denison Avenue.
