ance will give accommodation to about
seventy-five tons of hay.
Ranging from the entrance to the
works to a point adjoining the stables
is long and very substantial she'd Here
wagons will be washed off and laid up.
At the entrance gate is the carpenter s
shop. fully appointed for manufacturing
ice and packing boxes, etc. Behind the
cold storage room is covered shed with
basement, both of which will serve for
storage of rough goods.
The surface of the extensive courtyard!
will be of concrete with asphalt finish.
and in the rear of the premises a wen is
being sunk with every prospect of de-
veloping a plentiful water supply. 1t is
four feet in diameter and will be sunk
to seventy-five feet. Connection, haw-
ever, has been made with the city mains
and water meter put in.
So far everything described has been
eminently practical. In the offices of the
firm, however, some slight concession is
being made to the esthetic. The main
office faces on Vine street and is excel
lently we'll lighted by two immense Win
dows The lower portion of the walls
are paneled in polished oak, the coun-
rial. The walls are to be frescoed and
all Of the fittings will be of an essentially
comfortable as we'll as business-like
character. Doors give immediate ac-
cess to the street, the courtyard and the
bottling departments. Yet another door
leads into the private office of the firm.
Like the outer office. it is paneled and
finished in polished oak, and in furnish
ing will be handsomely appointed.
When in running order the works will
be the most modern and up-to-date of
any in the state. T. ]. McCarty was the
architect, and he has very effectively
designed a block of buildings wherein a
large and growing business can be car
red on with the greatest economy of
space and also of time. C. j. Kutach
has been the general contractor, and
Charles Skinmann, chief engineer Of the
John Weiland Brewing company, has
acted as experimenting engineer. The
steel framework, iron stairways and
rails were supplied by the Baker Iron
works; the boilers, oil apparatus, pumps
and tanks by the Llewellyn Iron works;
the ice machine, coils for steam tubs, air
compressor and piping by the Acme
Machine company, and the plumbing by
Newell Bros.
While the works cover about an acre
of ground, the cost of the entire plant,
including buildings. plant, etc, will ag-
gregate $4,000 And that entire sum has
not only been disbursed in Los Angeles,
but Adloff and Hauerwass stipulated in
all contracts that all material, machin-
cry, etc, should be the product of home
industry. The regular staff of employees
number 25 to 40 men and from $4,000 to
80, 900 barrels Of beer are handled each
year.
Ten years ago Jacob Adloff took the
agency for the Fredericksburg beer, and
for about three years he retained that
position. The breweries in San Fran
cisco consolidated under the name Of the
San Francisco Breweries, limited, and he
conducted the southern agency for the
enlarged corporation. The business de-
veloped so rapidly that Mr.. Adolf was
almost compelled to look around for as
slstance, and a partnership with John
Hauerwass was the result. To date
business has been carried on at 920 North
Main street, but the premises were
neither spacious, cOmmodious nor CEN
trally situated, and the site being OBJ
tained on Vine street the new home of
an important industry was planned and
has now been brought to completion.
