swallowed up by the English syndicate
after holding out stubbornly. In May, 1887,
Fritz Boehmer and Carl c. Peterson. of
Alameda, entered into a contract with Joe
Dieves and Charles Kramm to purchase
the brewery within six months, agreeing to
pay for it the sum of $4,000. For some
reason the contract was never carried out.
When the syndicate was formed it tried to
get the Oakland Brewery for the sum for
which it had been agreed to sell to Boehmer
g. Peterson, but the prOprietors refused to
sell for less than $4,000, and finally the
syndicate has come TO the brewers terms.
The transfer has been made and the court
will be asked to confirm the sale. The
raise of 100000 in price inside of one year
is considered fortunate one for the owners
of the brewery.
