Facts about our business:
Hartman's Pork and Ice Cream business dates back to the year 1906, when in a small slab shanty, used for processing Pork Products, a business was born. One could look through the side of this building and see a brighter tomorrow in the making. Refrigeration was provided by hanging carcasses in the cellar for chilling. The cellar of the home, which was used for this purpose, is still standing north of the old one-room Belfast School. Imagine carrying many a carcass weighing from two hundred to three hundred pounds into the cellar in the evening, and carrying it out again the next day for processing.
The first route was established in Easton. Meat was carted in horse drawn wagons, placed in meat tubs, and covered with white muslin.
In the year 1914, my father, C. W. Hartman, purchased Sara Able's Farm or lot, as it was then called. Tearing down the slab shanty, he erected a Butcher Shop and an Ice House on the present location. An additional Ice House was rented.
Ice for all refrigeration purposes was harvested at Henry's Dam, except during mild winters, when ice was hauled from Say-lors Lake.
When 1917 rolled around, two Vim Trucks were pur-chased. At that time a thousand miles on a set of tires was considered exceptionally good.
Until 1919 the business operated as a partnership under the name of "Musselman and Hartman". In the year 1919, father purchased his step-father's share and the business operated under the name of "C. W. Hartman." Operating a Star Truck with a body transferred from a wagon, Dad humbly began moving ahead and progressing.
In 1925, the shop was enlarged and improved to the extent that a refrigeration plant was installed. Again in 1929 another refrigerator was added and the Butcher Shop was expanded.
The year 1930 found us holding our own. During the depression years, when thousands of businesses were dissolved it was necessary to put in many long hours of hard work to keep the business alive.
