PHILIP FRKSENIUs, SONS.

Reader, this concern sells it's product in New Haven There has not been, therefore such large, home trade as the brewers of New York city those of Chicago, those of Philadelphia, or those of St. Louis enjoy. The following figures, there fore tsll story, when the tremendous opposi- tion is considered, of stumbling blocks and inped- iments, struggled against and fought with which would have occasioned dismay and intimidation to others not so energetic or daring Ia 1852, the output was 100 bsrrels; u 1860, 900 barrels; in 1870, 5000 barrels; in 1890, oC0O barrels in 1eqO 22,2i3 barrels, the increase in ore decade having been over 100 per cent.
 Reader, are you aware that this is the oldest business Of its kind In New Haven, and that Philip Fresenius brewed the first lager beer in the Elm City7 This concern from the first has not
 been an imitator, but an innovator, adopting measures radically new. when deemed advisable

 which it is located, and the uniform arrange msnt, always awakens respect and admiration in the passer-by.
 member of Congress well acquainted with MT. Philip Fresenius ST. and his two sons Philip and Henry, said few days ago while in the city:
 q tell you if you think Philip Frssenius' Sons are not in this business to stayyou are mistaken. Possessing magnificent plant, thee nvy of every
 brewer in the state, or in New England, with reputation of the strietos integrity for forty years, and of manufacturing beer unsurpassed anywhere, placing New Haven lager where it stands to-day, quoted everywhere as on a par with that produced in any city in this country 1t certainly would amaze anyone if this concern should go out of the business. To be sure, the increase in sales during the past three years does not guarantee, to the superficial observer the percentage of growth, shown from 1880 to 1890. But, my dear sir, you do not know Philip Frese- nius' Sons. They have been trained in a splendid seheol, not only in New Haven. but also in New York city and in Union Hill, New Jersey. They are catering to trade in New Haven that will have nothing but the best beer and are willing to pay for 1t. This concern holds steadfast to its purpose to sustain it's price for the article and to make quality, which was always the axiom of the founder of the business the prime factor believe, that as in the past, this plant will on this axiom win, and admire the pluck and fixed purpose of it's executive. If asy other plant can manufacture as good beer as Philip Fresenius' Sons for decade they may secure the confidence of the trade, and then perhaps be able to success fGlly undersell them, but not till then The envlable reputation of this firm is owing to the ability of three men, @ father and two sons. have known these men for years and know them to be safe and reliable. l have always considered the young man that lost the inheritance bequeathed by his father as unworthy and deserving oblo- Quy. Philip and Henry Fresenius could never abuse the trust repossd in them by their father There is today no brewery in the United States more ably managed than that Of Philip Frese- nius' Sons. It was said of the founder of this business that his projects, his deep mind seeing to the very end, were invariably felicitous and happy This can be said of his two sons; and, depend upon it, something is upon the tapis, which, when matched, will astonish competitors. The two brothers operate in concert In complete amity and kind feeling, and a more ambitious and striving g-after-excellence family cannot re- call to mind.'
 Two kinds of beer are manufactured, the extra dark and the extra pale. We understand that these beers are recommended by physicians and are popular in the family, the restaurant, the club and the saloon, possessing such absolute purity, inviEorating qualities, aroma and color, that to enlarge upon them seems invidisus after what has already been said in this article.
 The offices of Philip Fresenius' Sons are situ- ated at 4ss Congress avenue. Tho promises have a frontage of 225 feet on Congress avenue and depth of 200 feet on Bond street. We understand that tho capac ty of the plant Is 70,o00 barrels per year. This plant was destroyed by ire fin 1888, and has been entirely rebuilt since, Mr. Charles Stoll of Brooklyn being the architect The intention from the first was to encourage home industries, and we learn that In building
