Wahrenberger & Beckmann, home
architects, drew the plans for the build
ing. which is being pushed to compile
ted as rapidly as possible, 1t being the
intention of the company to put on the
market, not later than MAY |, 1887. as
good, If not a better article. of home
brewed beer than has ever been offered
in this city or vicinity. The new brew
cry will have an immense advantage
over every other in me matter of lOca-
tion alone. Situated so near the heart
of the city, the saving in hauling alone
will be an immense item. Tnere are
more saloons within a radius of a quar-
ter of mile of this brewing house than
in all the rest OF the city combined. 1t
receives its water direct from the pipes
of the waterwOrks company and so loses
nothing by not being situated out of
town to get nearer the head Of the river.
The new building will be constructed by
home wOrk.nen under the immediate
supervision of the officers of the com
pany, who know just what they want
and are determined to have that and
nothing else. Having already proved to
their own satisfaction the quality and
serviceahleness of Texas made machin-
cry, they will not go away from home
for anything that can possibly be pro-
cured here, thus giving to home indus
tries the preference to all others and de-
mOnstrating in every way that they are
not merely Home Industry on Paper"
but genuine unadulterated home In
dustry on the striCtest business prin-
ciples. The new brewery will have
capacity of 200 kegs day and prices
will be such as to fully demonstrate the
truth of the old adage-"COmpetitiOn is
the life of trade" As this brewery has
the advantage of situation, an already
extensive business acquaintance with
the beer sellers of the city. have already
large business in their present line,
and its officers are thoroughly known as
among the most wide awake and ener-
gPtic of our citiZens-their new enter
prise will open under most favorable
auspices. AS the LIGHT has adj
vOcated the planting OF home enterpri-
SEES in San Antonio, particularly those
that are certain to employ cOnsidera-
BILE number of persons in conducting it's
business, the LIGHT cordially welcomes
this new brewing house to n home
among San AntOniO's creative indus
tries. The character of those gentlemen
who form the company is well known in
our business circles. Their faces are
familiar and their reliability fully estab-
lished. AS they have won for them
selves an enviable name in the past, as q
genuine home industry in fict as we'll
as in name they will in the future de-
monstrate that there is no other institu-
tiOn in San Antonio so fully deserving
of the title of 1.-The First and About the
Only Genuine Home Industry in West
ern Texas" as the Alamo Ice and Brew
ing Company.

desirable that he should know where to

name has been known through the
length and breadth of the state as lead

for general Office and waiting room by the
bank employees. Two twO-stOry vaults,
eight feet by 10, line the walls on the west
side of the building. One of these double
vaults is as nearly burglar proof as vaults
have yet been made, and both are absolutely
secure against damage by fire. The book

low the teller's stations. An iron
stairway with slate steps and rlSerS
leads to the story above, from the rear office.
The windows are of solid plate-glass, and
the construction throughout is all that the
utmost care and mechanical skill could
devise. The work was all done by the day
under the personal supervision of the Bank
President G.. w. Breckenridge, and expense
was not considered, the sole aim being to
make the building as thoroughly substantial
and as fully fire-prOOf as possible. Only the
very best material has been used in its CON
StruCtiOn: the only cOmbuStlbe material IN
it is the wood used in the window and door
castings and the counters: the result Is the
most complete and perfect bank building
in the state. and one without any superior
for its dimensions in the country.
The stables in the rear. the bath and toilet
rooms adjoining the bank building, and all
the appointments are in perfect Keeping with
the main structure. 1t is steam heated
throughout, thoroughly ventilated and in
every way an ornament to the city. The
tower surmOuntng the enterance is soon to
be provided with clock which will strike
the hours for opening and closing the bank:
The grounds will be laid out artistcally and
planted with flowers and foliage plants, Civ

or the many saloons in the city none
is more popular nor more deserving Of
public patronage than the Revolving
Light. The reason for this popularity
is not far to seek. Ii lies in that fact
that its genial proprietor. Mr.. s. Q.
Ball, knows what the pubic require and
has the capital and experience to sup
ply Ii; moreover. he knows how to treat
his customers when they call upon him.
His liquors are all old and straight
goods, the best that are attainable,
his cigars are the finest that can be
bought for the money and his beers are
in fine condition. and whether your Or
der lie large or small, it has courteous
attention. The public recognize these
facts and 1t is the great secret of Mr..
Balls success. When you desire good
things In his line call and see that We
are right.

must tell my tale in an old mans way.
Beginning first with the personal,
And went with the date. which is rather far
The year that ended the Mexican war.
My hero aspired to little renOwn,
Had grocery store, in a Texas town,
Sold coffee and sugar, and tea and rice,
And made out profit extremely nice
He did not depart, for the battle field
Had no admiration for sword or shield,
A native of Maine, he was you know,
And cool as the drifts of New England snow.
A Spanish gentleman lived in the place,
OF limited means, but unlimited race,
Who used TO remark among other things
That his viens were full of the blood of
kings.
A Spanish grandee of the OIden style
ChOck full of pOliteness and full of guile
With dagger and cloak and muStache com
plete.
And the tempting smell of the cigarette.
As the war drew to its dreadful close
The peoples suspicious against him rose,
They put him in Jail as Spanish spy"
Condemned on the following morn to die
Now our grocery friend with Observant eye,
Had watched events as they passed him by
To the very borders of Mexico.
On the wars account Just over there
He knew provisions were high and rare,
What noble deed he might easily do,
Beside the turning penny or two!
He pondered the matter, long, deep and we'll,
He thought of the Don" in his prison cell,
Resolved to free him, because you know
That Spaniard could guide him toward
Mexico
So he bought up the iailOrS, one bye one,
And when that business was nearly done,
They opened a door or lifted a sash,
These little matters are dOne-by cash.
So the Don came forth to the air once more
And he slept that night in the grocery store
But when the morning dawned bright and
The Spanish HidalgO, OIwhere was heI
racket was made, as well it might
When twas known that he had escaped that
night.
Each citizen sought on different trail
But all their search was of no avail.
The wagons were loaded, twas really a sin
To see how the barrels were crowded in,
The merchant gazed with professional pride.
On the beautiful labels tackled outside.
And the train went out from the Texas town
Over miles and miles of the prairie brown,
When they made their halt at the sun set fair
BARREL rose up in the evening air,
What meant that cOmmOtiOn among the
kegs,
What meant the sight of those human legs.
What meant that oder so faint and SweetP'
The legs we're the DOn'S-and the cigarette.
