HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... December — 1881 Statistics of the wine crop of Anaheim for the season of 1881 show a decided increase over the vintage of last year which was 584,000 gallons. The increase is due to the new vineyards that are beginning to furnish grapes. Unless some unforeseen circumstance occurs, next year's crop will undoubtedly be what Dick Swiveler would term a staggerer. Last year the noted firm of B. Dreyfus & Co. made 265,000 gallons and this year they have made 325,000. This is the product of their vineyards in Anaheim and of the purchases of grapes from growers in this vicinity. In addition the Cucamonga vineyard has produced tremendously and we hope to give the figures next week. They have also made a large quantity of brandy, their superb distillery being in constant operation. Following is a list of Anaheim vineyardists and the number of gallons produced 50 Years Ago...
