America and Her Enormous Brew
aries

America and Her Enormous Brew
cries.
We often hear inquiries in pub
lie places about the large breweries
Of this country, and in view Of the
interest people take in the history
of all successful enterprises, a few
facts short and to the point, about
one Of the largest and best known
Of the Western breweries, viz, the
P. Schoenhofen Brewing Co., Of
Chicago, kindly supplied US by
that concern, may not be out of Or
der.
Business was commenced in 1858
by the founder, P. Schoenhofen, on
a small lot of $500 square feet for
which he paid about $500. The
ground now taken up BY the brew
cry amounts to 101,575 square feet,
and is valued at over $500 100000.
Add to this a large piece of proper
ty acquired a few months ago at a
cost ofS75,0O0 for the building OF
an enlarged bottling department
made necessary by the fact that, al
though working day and night in
their present location, they are I'M
able to fill the demand for their bot
tie goods, and we have enough
ground for a good sized farm, all to
be devoted to the production of
Gambrinus foaming beverage.
The brewery proper is known to
be the best fitted up in the United
States, and is we'll worth a visit, if
only to view the two enormous cop
per kettles in which the brewing is
done. Each kettle has a capacity
of 500 barrels, SO that by brewing
twice a day every day in the year a
total annual output Of over 100000
barrels can be obtained.
The elevator and malt house
have a storage capacity of over 24O,-
900 bushels and a mailing capacity
of over 1900 bushels day.
As for their various brands of
beer, well, we will not say much
about them lest it might be said we
are paid to advertise them. Most
of US have heard of them, and the
popularity of this class of merchan-
disc is generally a very good critic
rion of quality. Their special high
grade brew Edelweiss is perhaps
one of the best known beers on the
continent. The brand they sell
most of, however, is the Select,
this being a high quality draught
beer and a much feared competitor
of the products of Milwaukee and
st. Louis, Schoenhofen's Chicago
Lager having a reputation for puri-
ty and standard quality acknowl-
edged even by their bitterest rivals.
Their nearest wholesale depots
are at Louisiana, Mo-, with Mr..
Bent C.. May as wholesale agent,
and at Nation, ILL.,, MI. NJ. Thode

Threads Of Thought.

Life is doubIe-faced and double

To know ones self is to distrust

Each life may have a potential

To be misunderstood by those

Find a disinterested friend and

Ine late A. L. wis HID

of duties. lis lawyer called one
day about another matter. Stewart
spoke in m exasperated way about
the treasury decision.
Let me see the decision,' sand
the lawyer. After reading it
through he said:
This law speaks of 'all-silk'
garments. Why don't You have a
thread of worsted run into these
goods when they are made abroad?"
"Vill that come within the new
law?' asked the great merchant.
''Certainly."
"How much do you want for that
opiniou?" asked Stewart a few
months later.
Fifty thousand dollars said the
lawyer. And he got It. He was
modest, too, but a dollar went
further in those days than it does
now.
Stewart years after told his legaY
adviser hat the casual suggestion
made that day had been worth ovel
