LOGANSPORT PRODUCE CO. SHOWS GROWTH
In a recent issue of the Logansport Pharos-Tribune the following article was printed
setting forth the acomplishments of Henry Pfeiffer, former resident of this city, as head of the
Logansport Produce Company:
“Quietly, almost imperceptibly, there has grown up in Logansport an institution and an
industry that is the greatest thing of its kind in Indiana and it is doubtful if any of the adjoining
states can surpass it.
“This is the Logansport Produce Company, H. Pfeiffer president and treasurer, located at
554 and 556 Erie avenue, in the remodeled, rebuilt building at one time occupied by Wilson,
Humphreys & Co., manufacturing stationers.
“The magnitude of this building, the entire four floors of which are occupied by the
Logansport Produce Company, can be seen in the fact that the two top floors are 60 x 150 feet, the
first and second floors are 60 x 110 feet, and back of the fourth floor, converging upon the hill at
the rear, is a receiving room 40 x 50 feet. Every inch of this space is intensively utilized in the
processes of receiving, preparing and shipping the products of the plant.
“The major product of the Logansport Produce Comany is milk, feed, poultry and eggs,
which are closely allied to the poultry business.
“Mr. Pfeiffer has prepared for further increase in business and controls frontage on Erie
avenue of 240 feet, including the brick building formerly occupied by the Obenchain-Boyer
Chemical Engine works and as this is needed it will be utilized. Mr. Pfeiffer has a wide reputation
as an expert in his particular line and he is pretty proud of the institution he has developed in
Logansport. He has interests in Monticello and Galena, Ill., but the plant at Logansport is the
headquarters of the business under his personal charge.”

HENRY PFEIFFER DIED FOLLOWING ATTACK OF HEART
Henry PFEIFFER, 57, who gained the respect and admiration of the citizens of this
community during his many years of residence in Rochester during which time he was associated
with the BEYER BROTHERS poultry interests as general manager, died at 4:30 o’clock Saturday
afternoon at his home, 136 Eel street, Logansport, following a sudden heart attack.
Mr. Pfeiffer has been in ill health for a number of months and he became stricken with a
severe attack of jaundice, which is believed to have been aggravated by financial reverses when,
immediately after he first was confined to his bed with the illness, his condition grew worse until
last week, when he appeared to be slightly improved. Thursday evening he suffered a relapse and
