FERDINAND BUSER,
[p. 732] who conducts a first class bakery at No. 105 East Long Avenue,
New Castle, is an enterprising and useful citizen who has resided here
since March 9, 1895. He was born January 10, 1863, in Switzerland.
Mr. Buser attended school in his native land and came to America when
seventeen years of age and remained in New York city for fifteen years,
where he learned the catering, confectionery and bakery business. In
1895 he came to New Castle and worked first for J. L. Myland in the
baking business, for something over five years, then was with Mr. Taylor
for nine months, and with Mr. Wheelock for four years, spending thus
about ten years with three employers. Mr. Buser then decided to embark
in business for himself and on May 15, 1905, he bought out the John
Miller bakery on East Long Avenue, where he has remained ever since. Mr.
Buser enjoys a large amount of profitable patronage and he is prepared
to supply every demand in his line of business.
In 1885, Mr. Buser was married to Meta Hach, who was born in New York
city, and there were sixteen children born to them, the survivors of the
family being as follows: Albertina, who was formerly a successful
teacher in the public schools, married Harry M. Fahr, who is engaged in
the drug business at Sunbury, Pennsylvania; Alphonse, who is engaged in
business with his father; and Elsie, Carrie, Arnold and Joseph. Mr.
Buser has reared his family in the faith of the German Lutheran Church.
He is a man of very liberal and charitable tendencies and is a member of
the German Beneficial Union.
