"The Elmwood Cider Mill on Austin Road operated from the early 1900s to the late a930s. John and David Young ran it from 1925 to 1927, William Robinson from 1927 to 1934, and William Gerber from that point until it burned in the late 1930s. This was a wholesale and retail outfit to which growers would bring their apples to be custom-pressed into cider. Much of the product was barreled, but some was sold in jugs at the Elmwood filling station on the corner of Route 101 and Horace Greeley Road."
