Brewing Industry.

Although it may not be generally
known it is q fact that it takes pure
water to make good beer, ale or porter.
The quality, Of the water used is of
as much importance as that OF other
products needed in brewing. In this
respect therefore Scranton ought to
excel many cities in this part Of the
country in the quality OF her beer. The
flow from the crystal springs of the
Pocono that comes dashing down Roar
irg Brook has no superior in the matter
OF purity, and this city has long been
favorably known for the excellence of
its water supply. The men who have
for years been engaged in the brewing
business of Scranton have been citi-
zens OF recognized ability and homes
ty who have brought to perfection the
finest processes of Europe in the manu-
faCture of beer, and In consequence
the product of the Scranton brew
cries has been able to hold it's own
against the competition of some Of the
most celebrated brands in the world
In fact II is no longer necessary for
one to look elsewhere for a grade of
stimulating and nourishing beverage
The Scranton malt fills the bill. Ger
tain kinds of Scranton beer are especi-
ally adapted to the use Of the in
valids who need a mild stimulent con-
timing enduring strengthing qualities,
and for these qualities also the ale
manufactured in this city is worthy of
mention. The Scranton breweries are
supplied with all the modern apDlian-
ces for the brewing of beer and ale
Of the finest quality, containing ice
machines, filters, etc. as we'll as the
most improved machinery throughout
These brew rics turn cut hundreds of
thousands of barrels Of beer and ale
yearly and employment for large
number Of men is furnished by the
various institutions. On account of the
great care that is exercised in the
brewing Of beer in the establishments
of this city the Scranton beer has
made for inself a reputation for purity
and excellence throughout the sur
rounding country and the sale and
consumption has been enormous dur
ing the past quarter of a century. A
position like this in the favor of the
public cannot be maintained without
the constant watchfulness that has
characterized the course of those en-
gagged in the business in this city. The
conuCisseurs of malt in this part of the
state look no further when the name
of Scranton brewery is mentioned.
They know that the product VIII be
hrst-class in every respect, Among
the oldest and best known of Scranton
brewing firms. may be mentioned E.

The Weston Mill.

The Weston Mill company of Scran-
ton is probably the leading representa-
tive of milling Industries in Northeast
ern Pennsylvania, its plant on Lacka-
wanna avenue having capacity for fill
ing large orders with despatch in ad-
dition 10 supplying the demands of an
established trade Of generous propor-
tions in the vicinity. The firm of
Charles T. Weston q Co., was estab-
lishcd in Scranton with a branch in
CarbonGale, in 1861, by Charles T. Wes-
ton, Edward w. Weston, Joseph H.
Scranton, j. C. Platt. Thomas Dick
son and j. j. Albright. In September,
1874, it was organized as a limited part
nerShipaunder the style of &C. T Wes-
ton Company, limited" which name
was afterward changed to the "Weston
Mill Co, limited" In 1893 a new or
ganiZation was effected under corpora
tion laws of Pennsylvania when the
present title, THE Weston Mill Co."
was adopted. The mill is one Of the
flourshing plants of lower Lackawan-
ma avenue and has a capacity for 100
barrels of flour daily and about two
cars of feed and meal. In addition to
tie Scranton mill, the company has
branch mills at Carbondale and Oily
phant. The present officers of the
Weston Mil Co. are william Counel,
president, and A. w. Dickson, treas
urer and manager, The present man
agCr has been Identified with the mill
since 1865 a period Of 80 years, and the
prosperous condition of the concern to-
day is evidence Of the efficiency of his
service.

Scranton Axle Works.

The plant of the Scranton Axle
Works situated at the Southern limits
of the city is one of the finest OF the
kind in the country. This establishment
is fully equipped with the most modern
machinery designed for the manufac-
ture of all kinds OF standard and es-
pecial vehicle axles. It's products find
ready customers throughout the coun-
try, and the excellence of the work
turned out at the institution has estab-
lished a reputation for the concern that
cannot fail to yield good returns in fu-
ture. This important industry was es-
tablished in 1892 by Thomas j. Moore.
w. l.. Connell, e. H. Ripple, j. M.
Kemmerer, w. ]. Parmelee and others,
and was placed in successful operation
a few months later. The officers of the
company are Thomas ]. Moore, presi-
dent and general manager; 7. c. Sno-
YER, president; e. H. Ripple
treasurer; Richard Weisenflue, secre-
tary. Mr.. L. Z. Stone Is the general
sales agent.

Tobacco Interests.

Although situated at quite a distance
from the country in which the weed
is grown, the tobacco and cigar-nbak-
ing industries Of Scranton may be in
cluded among the most important,
furnishing as they do employment for
a large number Of people and repre-
senting trade that reaches from one
end of the country to the other. Scran-
ton is the home of some Of the largest
establishments in the world devoted to
the preparation OF leaf tobacco for the
use of consumers, and the wholesale
trade of these institutions Is scarcely
comprehended by one not versed in
the business. In addition to this nu-
merous cigar factories Of the city turn
out thousands of the finest brands for
the smoker yearly to supply demands
from every part of the globe where the
products are known. Scranton tobacco
interests are chiefly represented by
Leonard Tobacco Co.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-11-27
Wholesale Groceries.

The demands of large country and
mining village mercantile trade in this
vicinity have made Scranton an i'm
portant point for wholesale dealers,
and the immense warehouses of the
city are always well stocked with staple
goods calculated to meet all orders In
their various lines. AS matter Of
course, the wholesale grocery business
is among the leading branches of trade
in the hub" of Northeastern Penn
sylvania. There has been a steady
growth in the wholesale grocery busi-
ness for many years, and the high
standard and quality of the food pro-
ducts found in the Scranton houses
have made them unassailable In com.
petition with New York institutions.
The Scranton grocers take pride In the
fact that they carry nothing but the
finest brands in supplies calculated for
the jobbing trade and they have no use
Tor the adulterated product In any
form. Being in touch with the lead
Ing markets of the country they are
enabled to give their patrons the bene-
mt OF all fluctuations In prices, thereby
allowing the retail merchants oppor-
tunities for keeping pace with COM
petition everywhere at living profit.
On this account the trade of North
eastern Pennsylvania centers at
Scranton, and will always remain
here. The fastidious tastes Of the peo-
pie of this part of the state will doubt
less assist in maintaining the high
standard of goods supplied by the
wholesale merchants who make a spe.
clalty Of food products. Pennsylvania
people always want the best. and In
coming to Scranton warehouses they
get it. All Of the wholesale stores OF
this city are located at convenient
points for shipping and orders for
goods are filled with rapidity that is
unsurpassed in the business world.
In the wholesale business the trade
of the city has increased steadily year
by year until its annual operations
reach millions Of dollars. In many
lines the goods offered are Of their own
manufacture and all others are of
guaranteed excellence. The whole
salers and jobbers in food products are
always upon the alert in looking after
the best interests of their patrons and
securing the novelties in staple and
fancy groceries as soon as they appear
on the markets. They employ many
outside representatives who by peri
odical visits keep in touch With the
pulsatiOns Of trade and are thorough
ly informed as to the wants Of buyers.
1t will thus be apparent that the dealer
in this part Of the state does not need
to look further than Greater Scran-
ton" for tirst-cIass goods in the line of
table supplies The leading wholesale
grocers Of Scranton are MegargeI s.
Connell.
