models Of beauty and excellence.
At the presest tine. Msssrs. Conklin 1
Boss arc manufacturing about 400 gallons
per day. though the distillesy has capsci-
ty for nearly four times that product. The
daily consumption Of corn ranges from 100
TO l5o bushels; 5000 bushels per year !;
100 bushels Of coal per day is used to make
steam. and twelve men are employed. The
Government tax on these manaiactures
amounts TO about ts0. .OO9 per month, or d.
most quarter Of . million dsllars per an
mum, though il the works were run right up
to their full capscity, ,--and they probably
will be--this tax alone would be 81 ,O0O, 900
per year.
Messrs. Conklin & Boss have been run
ming this distillery since shs 18th Of May.
