Prominent Monroe, Louisiana businessman; Jacob S. Bloch was in the retail and wholesale liquor business. This was a business he helped transform near the turn of the century when he established the mail order of liquor. That model made Monroe, Louisiana well known in the distribution by mail of spiritous liquor. A search of the internet revealed many items of J. S. Bloch's business including liquor catalogs, tokens for free drinks at J. S. Bloch and earthenware jugs stamped with the logo of J. S. Bloch.
The J. S. Bloch building still stands in Monroe on the banks of the Ouachita River and alongside the DeSiard Bridge. This building is on the National Register of Historic place and is in 2013, the home of the high end restaurant, Cotton.
