Mr.. John T. Blaise has accepted
the Southern agency of VALENTINE
BLATz's CELEBRATED MILWAUKEE
LAGER BEER, and established his
office at No. 322 Main street, where
all orders for beer may be left. with
the assurance that they will receive
prompt attention. Blatz' Milwaukee
beer has justly become celebrated on
account of its purity and excellence.
and the sales have increased to such
an extent that his brewery is by far
the largest owned by any one individ-
ual in the United States. All beer
drinkers unite in prOnouncing the
judgment that Blatz's beer cannot be
surpassed. In order to accommodate
the demand which will be sure to fol-
low the introduction of this celebrated
beer, the proprietor intends erecting
at the Louisville depot a large and
c%ommodious ice house to keep the
beer in frst-class condition. Mr..
Blaise, the agent here, will receive
orders for beer in kegs or bottles, and
will also deliver bottled beer TO fami-
lies. Mr.. Blaise is a we'll known
Memphian, having resided here for
twenty years, and for several years
past has been connected with the fur
niture house of Mitchell, Hoffman &
Co. He deserves credit for introduc-
ing a far superior beer to any now sold
in this market, and we hope his sales
will equal the merits of his goods.
