MIR. EDIToR: Your correspondent, "E. l.. Co." in

party in interest, desire u correct In writing of
Best (Brewing Company as 5OOCC0 barres of Joseph
SChlitz Brewng Co mpanv) 900 900 barrels &C., &c.
q statement to which take exception.
The Internal Revenue sworn returns of the Joseph
Schlitz Brewing Company for the year ending April
80 1872 shows their sales to have been 275 2S barrels
which they claim, and assert without fear OF suc-
cessu contradiction, Is the largest quantity sold by
any single brewery in the United States.
The Joint production of the two brewerles of the
Philip Best Brewing Company may exceed that OF
Company. but, In my opinion, is not within 10000
barrels Gfthe qrantity stated by your correspondent
At all events will agree to pay hundred dollars
to the German Orphan Asylum of this city II he can
etnbish the fact from the reports of the Internal
Revenue Department. that their sales for the year
ending April 80, 1SSs, exceed $50 900 barrels.
The Increase ofsales by The Joseph Schlitz Brewing
Company for the year ending as above was 81, ,23O
barrels, which Is greater increase than Is shown by
any other brewery in the United states for the same
IerOd.
Notwithstanding this enormous increase of sales,
high standard of excellence will be maintained the
10 eph Schlitz Brewing Company, as the capacity OF
the brew cry has been increased in still creator
ratio the storage capacity being now 10000 barrels,
which nsures thoroughly matured lager beer, even
fthe sales should be increased to 10000 barrels per
annum.
Al persons who may wish 10 be supplied with this
famous lager will be accommodated by dealers gen.

in getting on the top of rock, but Mr.: Robertson
was unable TO do 50, or even retain his position,
