OUR INDUSTRIES.
The Manufacturing and job
bling Interests of
MankatO
Report an Unusually Prosper
Gus and Successful
Year.
TheFactOries, Quarries and Brick
Yards Have Been Running to
Their Full Capacity.
Wholesale Houses Have Had
More Orders Than
Ever Before.
A Showing That Cannot but Be
Gratifying to Every Citizen
of MankatO.

The present calendar year has been
one which will long be remembered
with pleasure by the business interests
of the city. The numerous factories,
mills, brick yards, quarries, etc., have
been doing rushing business, and
have had difficulty to keep up with
their orders. Shipments have been
larger than ever before. The jobbers
have participated in the general pros
perity aud have filled orders from all
over the Northwest and often from
distant portions of the country.
Failures have been unusually scarce
and unimportant, and the outlook is
excellent.
The various manufacturing indus
tries have given employment to scores
and hundreds of hands more than
ever before. The city ia crowded with
people, and houses for rent are picked
up like hot cakes.
We have been unable to obtain the
desired figures from one or two houses,
while several have doubtless been
overlooked in the haste of preparing
large amount of matter for publica-
tiOn. With these exceptions, below
will appear brief account Of the bus
mess of each factory, quarry, brick
yard, and jobber.
The stone quarries have done a
splendid business, shipping out over
5000 carloads. The brick yards have
done equally well, while the cement
works, mills, factories, ETC., have all
made t1attering reports.

THE BREWERY.

Those who have not visited the
plant of VIM. Bierbauer's brewery
would be astonished at it's size and
capacity. Situated half way up the
bluff, it commands splendid view up
and down the valley. The large build
ings form little village of them
selves. The machinery is of the lat
est make and most recent methods of
manufacture are employed. The
various processes from the unloading
of the barley and hops to the bottled
beer are interesting and require four
weeks at the least, from the time the
malt is made. Ten weeks are now
being taken in the manufacture, and
the barley is growing" which will
make next years book beer. There
are $4,000 bushels of Ebarley slowed
away in the building, and that which
is spread out to grow" is sprouting
out nicely.
The product of the brewery is ship
ped to all portions of Southern Min
nesota and South Dakota, and gives
excellent satisfaction. The brewery
was started about 81 years ago and
has gradually increased in size and
capacity. Last year extensive addi-
tions were made to the machinery.
Visitors are very courteously treated
by Mr.. Bierbauer and his sons and a
visit to the establishment is we'll
worth the time.
The output of the brewing works
during the calendar year, estimating
December, is 5000 barrels, valued at
$42,0 900.

bushels each.
The shipments have been $50 cars

and meal, of $4,000 pounds or twelve
tons each.
The amount Of oil cake exported
was 100000 pounds, while $500, 900
pounds of oil meal has been used in
home consumption. In 1890 the
amount of oil cake exported was
12,0O0,OO0 pounds, and the home con-
sumption 100000 pounds. This
shows how popular the meal has be-
come at home during the past two
years.
