The Arbogast & Bastian (also A&B Meats) slaughterhouse was the largest in Allentown. The company was founded by Wilson Arbogast and M. C. Bastian in 1887. It had a prime location along the Lehigh River next to the Hamilton Street Bridge. A&B Meats were wholesale dealers, selling fresh and smoked meat and sausages. This photo of the slaughterhouse was taken in 1905.
