THE NEW UNION BREWERY.
What Has been Accomplished by Enter
prise-Grand Opening To-day.


There are men in the business walks of
life who, when overcome by misfortune,
have not the courage or ambition to make
new efforts TO regain their former standing
in business. While on the other hand,
there are those who, when brought face to
face with adverse circumstances, seem to
gather new life, new courage and start out
again in the world with greater determine
ton to retrieve that which may have been
lost than ever before.
As fitting illustration of what can be
accomplished by enterprise, determination
and energy, it is only necessary to refer to
what Jacob Lebert, proprietor of the Union
Brewery, has done within the last few
months. One night, during the month of
December last, a fire broke out in his brew
cry, which, after completing its work of
destruction, left only the bare walls. Seven
years of hard labor and much valuable
property was destroyed in few moments
of time. Before the smoke of the burning
embers had passed from the ruins, Mr.
Gebers had resolved that new brewery
should be erected upon the site of the old
one, which in every particular should sur
pass that which then laid as mass of
rubbish at his feet. Phenix-like the new
structure has risen from its ashes, and to-
day, May LIST, Old Glory makes her first
Gebert's new Union Brewery.
Many a man in Mr.. Gebert's place
would have given up and said it's no use
to try again, but tat did not happen to
be the kind of material out of which this
whole-souled, good-hearted and enterpris-
ing citizen was made. Sacramento was his
home; with her ne was determined to rise
or fall. The new buildings, with ware
houses, wagon and carriage sheds, resi-
dence and grounds take up half block on
the southeast corner of Twentieth and o
streets. Lovely grounds and beautiful
shade trees are not the least attraction of
this model place. The brewery building
has all the appointments and conveniences
of a well-managed, first class establishment,
the latest improved machinery only being
used The building is four stories bign
and all the apartments, such as cooling
room, fermenting-room, malt kiln, beer
cellar. shipping-room, washhouse, engine
room, are all built toinsure the greatest con-
venience and meet the growing importance
of this part of the State. Before the close
| of the year Mr.. Gebert will make other
| improvements which the lateness OF the
season nov forbids, but when completed
| will enable him TO manufacture lager beer
which will compare favorably with any
| imported from the Eastern States. A
cordial invitation is extended by the pro-
! prietor TO his friends and neighbors to Join
| him to-day at Twentieth and o streets in
celebrating the eighth anniversary OF the
! founding of the Union Brewery. Mr..
Gebert will take great pleasure in show
ing all who may call, through his new
! establishment.
