AMBROSE GLEED. The 1861 Dubuque City Directory listed 13th between Clay and Iowa.
The 1865 through 1868-69 Dubuque City Directory gave the address for this business as 75 Main.
The 1874-1875 Dubuque City Directory stated that this business was located at 205 Main.
The 1870-1871 and 1873-74 Dubuque City Directory gave the address of this business as 25 Main.
According to the June 18, 1874 Dubuque Herald, Gleed intended to end his liquor business by November 1, 1874. State law gave dealers no redress to purchasers who refused to pay their bills. (1) By August he was a brewer of malt liquor. In leaving the liquor trade, the Dubuque Herald reminded its readers, the federal government lost "one of its best customers." His U.S. taxes on sales in 1873 had been $45,000. (2)
