Historical Context
As Anheuser Busch was a very successful company they heavily relied on local Baltimore bottlers to transfer their kegged beer to bottles for local sales before establishing their own bottling house. Edelen originally partnered with E. G. Plum & Co but dissolved that partnership in 1889 and by 1890 he alone was the sole agent for Anheuser Busch but only for the very short time of one year. Edelen's bottles are very scarce and that one year is likely all that he was in business with Anheuser Busch or any other brewery.
