A POEM.

BY A RAILROAD MAN.
What's the use of kicking,
When your stomach's full of pie;
A big laugh you'd better tackle,
For tomorrow you may die.
But if your refrigerator's empty,
And your vest is getting loose,
Its time to fight, by thunder,
Or hold up the flag of truce.
Stop, my friend, there is way,
To fix your vest withOut-a krlncle;
Go call upon your Uncle Jesse,
He'll put you on the wrinkle.
Uncle Jesse's curious chap,
I've seen him stand and hOller,
With solid silver watch and chain
And it only brought dollar.
We trade with Uncle Jesse
AS we find him straight and square,
If we really need dollar
We are sure to get it there.
We often thought his business
Would fill man with gall;
But when Emerson finds us worthy
He's got cash enough for all.

BREWERIES.

Beer and Ale have grown to be the
drink of the masses in America, and
its consumption is daily on the In
crease. The history of the brewing
business in the United States goes
back to the days when the first indus
tries were planted on this side of the
Atlantic. Ale and Porter for long
time had full sway, and still forms a
large part of the output. Science
and intelligent enterprise IN the brew
ing of Beer has consequently made
the brewing interest great industry,
employing a large amount of capital
and many workmen. We have hive
establishments in our city whose pro-
duct is widely known, both for the
purity and excellence Of the quality
of the Beer and Ale brewed.
We give description of the repre-
sentative firms in this line in our city
below.
THE REYMANN BREWING COMPANY.
This company was first established here
in 1874 by Peter Paul Beck. Mr.. A. Fey
mann took charge of the brewery and en-
tered into q partnership with the Widow
Beck in 1862 In 1864 he purchased Mrs.
Beck's interest and continued the business
until 1879, when the present company was
Incorporated with capital of $500, 600.
The plant is q very extensive one, thor
oughly modern in its equipment and per-
fectly adapted for the systematic transac-
ton of their heavy business. The brewery
has a capacity of 100,00 barrels per an
mum. The beer made by this company as
regards purity and general excellence has
no superior, and is shipped largely through
out the States of West Virginia, Ohio.
Pennsylvania and Maryland. They also
have q very large trade in the city. They
also do a very extensive businessin bottling

DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS.
Wholesale.

The Dry Goods and Notions trade
of Wheeling easily holds its own
with the larger cities of the east and
west. The stocks carried by our
wholesale houses are not excelled in
proportions and varieties by firms in
other cities, so that the dealers who
purchase in this market feel confident
that all orders can be filled promptly,
completely and at figures no other
point can surpass.
Having the advantages Of location,
with transportation facilities by rail
and water, they are prepared to sup
ply the trade in this territory with
goods suitable to their wants. The
whole trade is very powerful factor
in the general prosperity Of the city,
and should be constantly stimulated
by all associated interests as a most
desirable branch of business.

The manufacture Of glass in this
country was co. existent with its set
Element. Soon after the first settle
ment at Jamestown, Va, in 1907,
there was, according to Stiih's His
tory Of Virginia, glasshouse erected
in the woods about one mile from
jamestown. Small as it unquestion-
ably was, yet it deserves mention as
being the first glass mandatory
erected in the territory of the United
States. To trace the manufacture of
glass in the United States from its
settlement down to the present day
would require volume but suffice
it to say that our enterprise in this
useful industry cannot be excelled by
any country.
While Wheeling is widely known
as nail making point she long ago
assumed such pre-eminence in glass
in this community as an interest
second only to that in nails. Her
wares are turned out by Wheeling
men, enterprise, capital and skill,
which challenge comparison for rare
beauty, artistic design and excellence
of workmanship with the wares of
Bohemia itself. Hundreds Of men,
adopts in the most advanced modern
processes, find employment in our
glasshouses. The diversity of the
products embrace Flint and Lead
Glass and Tableware, Crystal and
CoIored Globes and Shades, Glass
Chandeliers, Lamps, Globes, Bottles,

ROOTS a. sHOEs---Wholesale

Among the many articles OF the
wholesale trade, none are of more i'm
portance than that created by the de-
mands for footwear. Unquestiona-
bly, Wheeling is rapidly becoming
if not already-the most important
distributing point in the Ohio Valley
for Boots and Shoes. The growth
of the trade has been astonishing, ag-
gregating now hundreds of thousands
Of dollars. The great advantage pos
sessed by this market comes from the
fact of having direct communication
with eastern and western manutac-
turers and the facilities for shipping
goods from this city to all points
tributary. The buyer in this market
receives the advantage of stocking up
nearer home, saving the difference IN
transportation.

A MANUFACTURING CENTRE.
AS a manufacturing centre, Wheel
ing is widely known. For years she
has been known as the "Nail City,"
on account of the vast quantity of
the product turned out by the manu-
facturers in this line. In glass, the
city has an interest second only to
that of nails, while her pottery and
queenSware has won for our city new
laurels as a manufacturing point.
Her leather, lanterns, calico, fur
niture, iron and steel fashioned into
numerous shapes, beer from her brew
cries, her cigars, tobacco and stogies,
have won for the city national rep
utation in all the great marts of the
country. Over 81, 600, co., is in

gregating $I4, 200, coo. 90.

in this section. Her merchants are

uuent trials, found themselves in ev-
cry way advantaged by procuring
their stocks in this desirable jobbing
centre. In quality and variety of
the merchandise offered to retailers,
Wheeling is equal to any city, and,
freights and time being considered,
successfully completes IN prices with
any of the great Eastern cities, and
offers all inducements which can be
held out by the largest cities in the
South or West. The trade in gro
ceries, dry goods, notions, hats and
caps, boots and shoes, and hardware
is particularly active, and sales are
increasing rapidly.
Wheeling is certainly natural dis
tributing point for large scope of
territory surrounding it in West Vir-
ginia, Ohio aud Pennsylvania, and
the jobbing trade is SO well established
here that its success is permanent.
A number of jobbing houses are
branching out into territory that has
heretofore been served by Baltimore,
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and their
success has been very encouraging.
BANKING FACILITIES.

gregate capital of its eight banks is

neighborhood of S., 500, coo. 90, and
