Little can be found concerning the Valparaiso Tea Company located in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana. It is known that Charles Ferdinand Beisler, the manager of the company, operated the tea company in Valparaiso from at least 1909 through 1916 and then moved to Hobart, Lake County, Indiana, and established his tea company in that community. Charles would then move to Glen Park in Gary, Lake County, Indiana, and operate his tea company there from 1916 till his death on January 14, 1944. It is likely that the man on the delivery wagon is Charles Beisler.
