Lebzelter’s Celebrates 75th
In these times of change
and instability, long-lasting
relationships are hard to
find. Therefore news of a
diamond anniversary
celebration marking 75
successful years together
invited curiosity. No, the
occasion is not a wedding
anniversary, but is
something more unique -
This year is the 75th year of
association between the
Philip Lebzelter and Son
Company in Lancaster and
the Goodyear Company.
Lebzelter’s and Goodyear
first became acquainted in
May of 1900, when the
Lancaster firm placed its
first order for rubber

carriage tires from a two
year-old fast-rising company
in Akron, Ohio ■ the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company. At that time,
Lebzelter’s specialized in the
bending of hickory for the
production of fine-grade
wagon wheels.
Since making that first
order in 1900, Lebzelter’s has
carried the winged foot
brand exclusively, except
during World War II when,
tires were rationed. This
period spans the entire
history of the automobile age
in Lancaster.
But the history of the
Philip Lebzelter and Sort
Company began long before
automobiles were even
thought of seriously, on
March 9, 1829 in Naulautem,
Wurtemburg, Germany. On
this date a son was born to
the village burgomaster
John Lebzelter and his wife
Catherine.
Although Philip was only
one of 17 children in the
family, in his youth <he
thoroughly learned the trade
of woodtuming from his
father.
In 1849, 20-year-old Philip
sailed to the United States
with his brother Wilhelm.
After a 38-day voyage which
landed them in New York
City, the brothers traveled to
relatives in Pennsylvania.
Unable to find work in the
German settlements 'in
Lehigh and Berks counties,
Philip traveled on foot to
Reading. He finally found
work on a farm in nearby
Muhlenburg, where he was
paid $4.00 amonth for his
labor. Eventually Philip was
able to find work in a
Reamstown woodturning
shop, where he utilized the
skills he had learned from
his father in Germany.
At the same time, Philip’s
brother was doing similar
work in Allegheny, Pa. At
Wilhelm’s urging, Philip
traveled to Allegheny and
joined him. Wilhelm later
purchased the Allegheny
business for $l4OO.
In 1852, Philip moved to
Lancaster, where he was
hired by the woodturning
shop of Bowers & Gshleman.
There he worked For'one and
a half years.
In 1854, at the age of 25,
Philip went into business for
himself in Lancaster. The

on South Queen Street read
“Eagle Wheel and Bending
Works." He stayed on South
Queen Street for one year,
and then leased a shop on
North Queen Street. From
there he conducted the
business for three years,
until his lease ran out and the
owner rented the property to
another firm.
Lebzelter must have liked
the North Queen Street
location, for in 1862 he
purchased the site and again
settled his shop there. The
store remained there for
over a century.
The goods which the Eagle
Wheel and Bending Works
produced at this time in
cluded second-growth
hickory bent rims, shafts,
poles, spokes, wheels, bows,
reaches, banded hubs, and a
specialty of fine grade
wheels. Much of the labor
saving machinery used in
the shop had been invented
by Philip Lebzelter himself.
The same year in which he
founded his business, Philip
married Elizabeth Heleine, a
French immigrant. Their
son William carried on the
family tradition by learning
the trade of woodtuming
from his father.
William was joined by his
cousin Charles Lebzelter and
together they operated the
business for over 50 years.
Philip Lebzelter, who had
retired near the turn of the
century, died in 1906. Under
William and Charles, Leb
zelter’s continued to be
successful.
In 1900, at the dawn of the
automobile age, the Philip
Lebzelter and Son Company
ordered carriage tires from
Goodyear. As the number of
automobiles in Lancaster
grew, so did the Lebzelter
business and its relationship
with Good year.
In 1913 the Lebzelters
hired David Reamer to head
the brand-new automobile
tire department. Since that
time, many innovations have
passed through Lebzelter’s,
including the Cord tire, the
Balloon tire, the solid tire,
the farm tractor tire, and
