PHI. Best's Milwaukee and Export Beer the
"Finest in the World"

"Finest in the World"
Among the many industries, of which
Canton Is the center, we must mention
one which quietly and, as it were, al
most unnOticed by the majority of
people, has grown to very large prOpOr-
tiOns. We refer to the Milwaukee Beer
BOttling Establishment of Mr.. James III.
Gully on East Tuscarawas street, above
Cherry, who has been in the business
for the past three years. Upon its incep-
tiOn, he, with the assistance of one OF
two men, was amply able to meet all de-
mands, which at the time were purely
local; but latterly, he has been com
PEELED TO increase his force, put on de-
livery teams, and now the cases bearing
his name find their way to every station
on the many lines of railroads that CEN
ter here. The beer handled by this gem
tleman is that of the Phil. Best Brewing
Co., of Milwaukee, one of the oldest and
most reliable houses in the country. We
append a statement, showing briefly
what an immense establishment thew
operate, and how excellent the QUALITY
OF their goods must be, to warrant such
an outlay cf capital.
