Our people will very generally regret
the decision OF the Upper Peninsula
Brewing Company to remove its plant
from this place to Duluth, where the
real estate has already been purchased
and arrangements made for the erection
of necessary buildings. The loss OF the
industry is greatly heightened, as 1t
takes from the place Mr. Reiner Ioeh
than whom Negaunee never aad n more
upright, enterprsng ci,Izen. 1t is .he
purpose to taKe all the machinery from
the brewery aud malt house and to make
no disposal Of the buildings for brewing
purposes. The proprietors will supply
their trade here from the Marquette
establishment, which is one OF the finest
OF Its kind IN the state. The mailing
will be done at Duluth, a sufficient
quantity having been made to supply
the demand until the new plant shall be
In operation. They expect to be ready
fer business 10 the Zenith City at an
early time la the spring. --Negaunee ee
