In the 1890 - 1891 Sandusky city Directory, there is a advertisement for " Henry Eichler & Co., manufacturers of and dealers in German roots and herb Bitters. Since their products are described as German bitters, it might be possible that one of their brands could have been the name Kaiser Wilhelm, the first emperor of Germany.
