A COLUMBUS STATUE.
The story of IA Brass Founders
Transformation of Gambrinus.

The story of IA Brass Founders
Transformation of Gambrinus.
A story is told of a brass founder
who was one day visited by friend
acting as agent for one of the cities Of
Central America. The agent asked
what it would cost to cast a statue Of
christopher Columbus for the public
square of the city. The amount was
far in excess Of the sum which the man
1had at his disposal. He was about
leaving in despair of being able to Sc
cure the statue when the brass founder
said:
"Come back in the junk yard and let
us see what can be found there"
He went back, and the brass founder
showed him a colossal statue Of Gam
brinus, recently removed from the
front of large brewing establishment.
Under his feet rested a beer keg, in his
hand was a large and overlooking
schooner, his beard was long and shay
gy, and about his brows was Wreathed
a garland Of barley and hops.
"Why, this will never do" said the
commission merchant. 81 want a stat
ue of Columbus"
''Wait until I have touched this one
up. Come back in about a week and
see what you think of it. If it suits
you, you can have it for the amount
you have at your disposal"
AS soon as the visitor had gone the
brass founder set two men at work on
the figure Of Gambrinus. They re-
moved the beer key from under his
right foot and placed there an anchor
and coil of rope, from his hand they
removed the goblet and substituted a
globe, with the continents traced on
it; from his brow they took the wreath
of barley and hops and substituted a
wreath Of laurel and then proceeded to
trim up his whiskers. The finishing
touch consisted in putting at the base
of the statue "Cristoforo Colombo"
When the commission merchant came,
he was delighted with the figure and,
purchasing it, shipped it to the Central
American city, where it adorns the
public square and Is looked upon with
veneration by the citizens Of that town.
