The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1897-09-12

Galveston. Texas, September H.
Especial Correspondence.) --Having been
absent from this city for two years,
find on my return that the following
changes have been made during my alb
sence:
WEEKS. MCCARTHY & co.
II you can Judge by outside appearances
the business OF Weeks, Mccarthy Co.
has greatly increased during the past two
years. for the entire force in the bank is
as busy as bees during banking hours, and
at least five persons 90 in and out OF
this bank as often as one did two years
ago. There is not a harder OF more per-
petual worker in this city than Mr. Nc
Carthy, and safer man can not be found
In the banking business. An inquiry de-
velops the fact that this bank handles the
city and county funds. and that now many
OF the largest and most wealthy firms in
this city do their banking business with
Messrs. Mccarthy & Co. Many OF these
firms have funds enough to do d banking
business individually. The truth Is, this
bank has worked its way to the top under
It's present management, and Is still rapid
ly gaining strength. 1t has the entire
confidence OF the business community.
GALVESTON BREWING co.
During the past two years the Calves
ton Brewing company, which was started
In February last, has made deep inroads
in the sale OF beer in this city. Many
new saloons have been opened In this city
which sell exclusively the beer manufac-
tured by this company, and the old ga
looms are now making 1t leading feature
of their business. The reason of this lies
in the fact that many old beer drinkers
gay they like 1t as we'll as they do any
beer brought from st. Louis, Cincinnati,
Milwaukee or anywhere else. Others say
they like II better There Is no reason
why as good beer can not be tnanufac-
tured in Galveston as elsewh fact
already demonstrated. The compaay's fac
tory Is located at the corner of Pustoifice
and Thirty third streets, and MIR. b. n.
Peters is Its general manager. This beer
VIII shortly be introduced into Houston.

This new hotel is kept on both the Amer
lean and European plan. The charges on
the American plan are So. 50 per day On
the European plan you hire room for

ropsan plan is very convenient one for
exchrsionsts visitors and business men
VINO want no regular hours FOR meals. The
AAo'SA oiahu iesthuraut is run by that
famous caterer, Charley" Ritter But
the brightest feature now associated with
TINS first class house Is its proprietor, Mr..

IN this city, but later the proprietor OF
the Mcleod hotel In Dallas and the Palmer

cessfully. He worked up from bank cash
Ter to the prince Of hotel men. There is
