Title: Weise, August L.
Description: August L. Weise, born in 1834 in Germany, worked as a lithographer and printer in Philadelphia from the mid-1860s to early 1900s. He began his career producing mostly labels, advertising posters and sheet music in Philadelphia ca. 1865 with William Boell at 311 Walnut Street. By 1867, he was one of the proprietors of A. L. Weise & Co., with Herman Pfeil and Louis Haugg, at 29 South Fourth Street. Weise and Haugg remained at this location until 1871 when they relocated to 45 South Fourth Street. In 1876, they relocated to Duval & Hunter's old shop at 401 Ranstead Place, where Stephen C. Duval (b. ca. 1832) remained and managed the newly named "Weise Lithographic Printing House" until 1879, when the business moved to 101 North Sixth Street. Weise's indebtedness to several creditors noted in an R.G. Dun & Co. credit report in October 1877 most likely caused the business to relocate rapidly and with varying partnerships and managers. By 1880, the printing house had moved again, this time to 101 North Sixth Street, where the business ended by July 1883. A member of the Lithographic Printers Union and its translating secretary in 1862, Weise also served as the president of the Philadelphia Turngemeinde by 1890 and was a member of the Humboldt Lodge No. 359 of the Free and Accepted Masons., Weise resided north of Center City (Ward 13) in 1859, the year his Pennsylvania-born daughter Lilly (b. 1859) was born. By 1870, Weise and his German wife Katharine (b. 1836), lived at 418 Vine Street and welcomed four more children into the family: Albert (b. 1861), Clara (b. 1863), Bertha (b. 1865) and Emma (b. 1868). Albert, Clara, and Bertha were all identified as printers in the 1880 census, by which time three more children were born: Ernst (b. 1873), Mary (b. 1875) and William (i.e., Willie, b. 1878). The family resided for many years at 526 Powell (i.e., Delancey) Street, until relocating to 547 North Sixth Street by 1900 when Weise's children Albert, Bertha, and Emma worked as clerks, and William as a lithographer. Weise died on June 25, 1914.
