The brewing and mailing establish
ment of William Hartlg is receiving a
marked improvement in the way of a
complete electric lighting system.
The plant is a private one and is being
put In by the Watertown Manufacture
| ing company. The dynamo is one of
/ the kind which this company is now
constructing and is very highly recon-
mended. 1t will supply one hundred
incandescent lights of sixteen candle
power each, distributed throughout
the buildings occupied by Mr.. Hartig's
business. An engine in the malt house
furnishes power for the dynamo. The
improvement will be greatly appreci-
ated throughout the concern and Mr..
Hartig is showing cOmmendable enter
prise in being the first to put in a pri-
vate lighting system here-a fad that
is becoming quite pronounced in other
places.
