Description1913 - Bealer Cigar Company.jpg	English: This photo from 1913 shows Charles Bealer standing in front of the door to his home and business at 413 North 6th Street, along with some employees. Bealer was one of many cigar manufacturers in Allentown. In the years before World War I, there were several cigar makers in the city, the largest of which employed some 200 workers, and about 40 smaller manufacturers such as Bealer. Bealer operated a cigar/tobacco store on the first floor of his row home, and made cigars behind it in a small, two-story building that doubled as a cigar rolling plant and a carriage house/garage; this photo was apparently taken in the yard between the store and the rolling building. Support companies, such as the A. H. Balliet Company made cigar boxes and employed more than 250 people. The cigar industry dissipated from Allentown during the 1920s. Bealer's home remains today as a multi-family apartment home. The storefront is still apparent with a large window at the front of the building.
