Gus, the steam sausage factory of Messrs.
Fred Koehler & Bro, is entitled to conspic-
uous mention. We visited their establish
ment yesterday, and found it under tull
Roadway IN all its departments. 1t is sup.
plled with the latest and most generally ap-
proved machinery, and seems to be lacking
in nothing that is essential to a complete
sausage factory. lis capacity is far beyond
the present demands of the market. as the
reader will understand when we remark
that one hundrer pounds Of meat thrown
under the knives are made into sausage
IN the short space Of six min
utes. With their present facilities
Messrs, h. & Bro, can supply at least ten
thousand pounds Of sausage daily; and the
steam power at their command is equal to
the production Of three or four times that
quantity. Everything about the factory is
kept scrupulously clean, and Mr.. Fred X. is
prepared to give prize beef for every
ounce Of tainted or unsound meat that goes
under the knives Of the sausage machine.
His reputation as a manufacturer stands
unimpeached, his saussges of every kind
are recognized as among the best manufac.
tured in the northwest, and he cannot at
ford 10 imperil bis own reputation
or that Of his goods, by
the use Of anything but the
best material that can be obtained. Fur
thermore, Messrs K & Bro. have lust re-
covered from the effects OF their late disas-
ter by fire; have erected, and occupy
substantial brick building, especially ar
ranged for their business, and expect to
serve the trade hereafter, more promptly
and satisfactorily than ever before. It's
their desire and purpose, therefore, to in
crease their trade, and with that view thew
invite orders from all points in the country
promising to all their patrons the com
pletcst satisfaction, alike in the quality of
the goods, the prices at which they will be
furnished, and in the promptness and in
tegrty that shall characterize all the firms
business transactions. Address, Fred.
Koehler & Bro, Cairo, Illinois.
