THE BEST BEER IN THE WORLD
Prominent Young Hotel Men.

The Regent Hotel Cafe, next to
Chase's Polite Vaudeville, is pat
ronized by several hundred repre-
sentative Washingtonians every
week, and the hotel is the rendez-
vous of a large clientele of lead
ing travelling and professional peo-
pie who make it their Washington
home.
Our patrons are keen critics of
beer" said Mr.. Roy X. Salt, the
popular young manager of the
Regent. "They have to compare
our Washington beer with that
brewed in all parts of the country
and Europe, and they say that no.
where do they find beer equal 10
Heurich's. We handle both Maer-
zen and Senate beer on draught
and in bottles. Our bar trade in
the season is as large as any hotel
in the city. Very few hotels in
Washington do anywhere near the
amount of bar business this hotel
does, and our trade is constantly
increasing. We have to deal in
the very best beverages, and we
long ago learned that those who
know most about beer demand
Heurich's, both at the bar and at
the. table. / wish Mr.. Murphy
was here to tell you his experience
with Heurich's beer at his new
hotel at Albany and his cafe in

the beer question, and has deep
rooted opinions on affairs of pub
lie Importance. He says:
ut is very essential we point out
to the public pure food, pure med
icine, and pure beer. Having ham
died Mr.. Heurich's beer for over
twenty years, / have no complaint

investigation of this kind is an i'm
portant step.
Il get beer in large quantities
and store it away at certain tenn
perature, and deal it out to the
public at that temperature-not
in an ice cold form. There is a
vast difference between this and
putting ice cold beer into the
stomach. At the right tempera-
ture and drawn right, beer equals
any tonic in the world. Among
the beers that belong to this class
are Christian Heurich's beers-all

Some Sample Interviews.

The story of Heurich's Beer will
be presented in series of page ar
ticles, of which this is the first.
The heading of this Introductory
article, THE BEST BEER IN
THE WORLD" dictates that the
evidence of the outside public be
presented in this particular page,
and. therefore, as far as the space
will permit, interviews are quoted.
The reading public will prObab-
ly enjoy the story of the brewery
and divers interviews on other
branches of the subject, such as
Beer as a Temperance Beverage" :"
which will be presented in other
pages later, more than this mere
setting forth of testimonials" but
so complete and conclusive is the
evidence furnished in the signed
interviews they are given prece-
dence.
The most important interview is
that with Prof. Wiley, and it is
given in display type in a space
specially reserved for it. The in
terview with Prof. Monroe, of Co
lumbian University, is entirely
personal.
Prof. Monroe said to the inter
viewer: 81 have made repeated
visits to the Heurich Brewery. [
have visited it in company with
Captain Sigsbee and other prOmi-
nent gentlemen Of the navy, whom

Conservation of the process by
which the Heurich beer is brewed

and wholesome beverage, and
personally recommend it to indi-
viduals and clubs. 1t is a pure,
wholesome beer, but / have never

beer thoroughly, as it is just as

The truth will be fully printed,
as the more widely the truth
about Heurich's beer is published
the better for the Heurich Brew

the beer-drinking public.
This might just as we'll be put

Other Beers VS.. Maerzen.

The profit in other beers is due
to the fact that they cost less to
make-are made of cheaper malt
cheaper hops-and by a cheaper
process. The difference between
Maerzen and other beers is easily
detected by the beer drinker, and
he soon acquires a taste for Maer-
zen that no other beer will satisfy.
He asks for MaerZen, demands
Maerzen, and buys his beer where
MaerZen is sold.

by aging, kept at constant tenn

is the hop cellar, which is as Sc

The cleaning of the malt-the
cooling of the beer, the "mashing-

Protection to the Public.

This evidence is strikingly con
elusive, because of the peculiar
facts that surround the beer busi-
ness. There is tremendous com
petition. Maerzen is not the
cheapest beer on the market.
Dealers have been known to sell
other dark beer-cheaper beer
and call ii "MaerZen."
Therefore, the Heurich Brew lg
Company have a rule that any
dealer handling Maerzen shall sell
no other dark beer. This for their
own protection and the protection
of the public. Only a day Or two
ago a downtown dealer was cut off
because he violated this rule.
Other beers are pushed with
energy and perseverance. The
margin of profit in selling them is
larger than the margin of profit in
selling MaerZen, but Maerzen is

Maerzen and Senate as a gentle

upon the digestive organs, which,
under its influence, exhibit un-

The best beer in America is
brewed in Washington, at the
Heurich Brewery.
This statement applies to both
light beer and dark beer.
Good judges who have Travelled
in Europe say there is no dark
beer in the world equal to Heu-
rich's Maerzen-nOt even the IA
nous beer of Munich.
That Heurich's Senate is the
best light beer brewed anywhere
NAV be said without fear of con-
tradiction.
Senate will not sour weak
stomachs nor cause biliOusness.
This is due to its purity, the high
quality of material from which it
is made, and its age. 1t is kept
from eight months to a year before
being placed on sale. This carries
it through the second stage of fer
mentation, and it cannot ferment
in the stomach.
Maerzen has attained a much
larger sale than any beer in Wash
ington. Maerzen has been brewed
for a quarter of century.
Senate has been brewed less

his early education in brewing,
