Robert J. Stumpf (center) studied to be a pharmacist in his native Germany before coming to Cleveland in the 1890s and working in the city's knitting mills. He later found work with a sausage maker at the Pearl Street Market and eventually opened his own sausage stand at the new West Side Market in 1914. Robert's son, Robert E. Stumpf (who remembered taking naps below the counter while working at the stand as a boy), continued and expanded the business, creating Kitchen Maid Meats. He passed it on to his own son, Robert W. Stumpf, who operated the Kitchen Maid Meats stand at the market until his death in 2017. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
