Wurlitzer and Welte Families
By Gerhard Dangel 

Those cigarette machines in Germany with the WurliTzer brand are all
American machines.  They probably have a branch here.

Did you know that the Rudolph Wurlitzer Co. was a big shareholder with
the Welte & Sons Inc.?  The late Farny Wurlitzer still sent CARE-packets
to the Welte family in 1945/46; the families were in contact since the
1880's.
