By 1897 he was a wholesale bottler and dealer of lager beers, ales, and porters, and was then located at 1 Library Court also in Olneyville Square but this part of Olneyville was considered a part of johnston.

One year later, Meyer relocated to 15 - 17 Hartford Avenue, Olneyville Square, Johnston.

By 1905, the company was under the name Louis H. Meyer & Co. of which Meyer was general manager and treasurer. The company was still dealing in the same items and had added different types of liquors to the list.

The company became incorporated in 1912 and Meyer retired from the business in 1920.
