Miller's Milwaukee Beer

Fred Zander was the manager of the Sandusky branch of the Fred Miller Brewing Company of Milwaukee, according to the 1906-1907 Sandusky City Directory. The building was located at the southwest corner of Warren and Monroe Streets. By 1912 the business moved to 722 Market Street, and the agents for the company were Fred W. Zander and Edward H. Hanson. Miller’s “Buffet” beer claimed to be the purest tasting bottled beer.



An article in the May 23, 1916 Sandusky Star Journal reported that Mr. and Mrs. Zander had moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. From Toledo, Ohio to Chicago, Illinois, they followed the signposts for the Lincoln Highway. They had a pleasant trip except for 75 miles of muddy roads in Ohio.
