In his zeal as a benefactor of humanity
Mr.. Heurich Is a warm adherent of the
pure food bill, and is using his best efforts
to secure its passage by Congress. He be-
heves that such a law should be in opera
ton and it's provisions rigidly enforced. In
this connection he is willing, even anxious
to have his beers analysed at any time and
place. for such analysis would be the best
Endorsement his products could be given,
giving additional proof of their purity
The career of Mr.. Christian Heurich has
been an interesting and instructive one by
which the younger generation can profit.
Born at Haina-by-Roemhild, Saxe-Mein-
ingen, Germany, In 1872, where he obtained
a good common sch DOL education, he came
to the United States in 1866, and in 1873
was married to a most amiabe lady. His
first work in a brewery in this country was
in Baltimore, from whence he went west
and found employment with Seipp & Leh-
man, later called the Conrad Seipp Brew
ing Company of Chicago. There he re-
manned until 1868, when he returned to Bal
timore and found employment as a malster,
giving entire satisfaction to his employers
But young Heurich had determined to
make mark for himself in the world, and
he decided not to remain as a salaried en-
ploye for others. He decided to embark in
business career for himself, and was not
long in carrying that decision into practice.
With persistence and pluck, which have al
ways been his marked characteristics, he
came to Washington and started the little
brewery in 1872, which was the means Of
his business upbuilding.
Before coming to this country Mr.. Heu-
rich travelled extensively through Germany
and Austria, visiting all the principal brew
ing cities Of those empires. This experience
covered a period of seven years, during
which time he worked as journeyman in
all the celebrated breweries of Germany and

ABOUT BIRDS AND ANIMALS.
A Complete Establishment Where Pets
Can Be Procured


It is the desire Of every boy and girl at
one time or another to possess a guinea pig.
rabbit, turtle or some other geological speci-
men. Whenever this desire takes possession
Of a boy or girl In Washington, and their
parents are disposed to crafty 1t, a visit
is generally paid to Edward s. schmid' s
Emporium Of Pets at 712 18th street.
Mr.. Schmid has catered to the fancy Of
Juveniles and grown-ups since 1880. when
he established his present business.
Some years ago Mr.. Schmid bought from
a dealer in New York bird known as the
Rock Mino. The bird was brought hero to
his store then situated on 18th street be-
low the avenue. The bird resembled a crow,
and the remarkable thing about it was that
its voice was so similar in quality to the
human voice 1t was impossible to detect
the difference. The bird learned to carry
on a regular conversation and was the SEN
sation of the city. Large crowds visited his
store daily to see and hear the wonderful
bird. He was finally sold to a local restau-
rant keeper. but died soon afterward.
Always on the lookout for novelties, Mr..
Schmid at one time sent trapper to Mex
leo to secure parrots. The venture, through
the death of the parrots on the way here,
caused him to lose money.
In the establishment may be found any
thing from meal worms to boa constructors.
Some time since he sold sixteen-foot
python to a Snowman. This was purchased
from the captain of an East Indian ship In
New York.
Mr.. Schmid was born in New York in 1856
and came here in 1889 with his parents. He
is a man of energy and makes constant eff
forts to please. AS result he has built up
a business that is patronized by the lead
ing families of this city and country.

HABITS a most true friend and an ornament

Mr. Heurichs master stroke was his &C
ton which resulted in compelling the
United States Department of Agriculture to
make public the results Of the analysis OF
the different brands of beer on sale in
Washington The analysis was made I'M
der the pretext Of exposing authorizations or
food and drink. and when published by the
department stated in what cities the beers
were manufactured, but failed to give the
names of the manufacturers.
Some of the local samples having been
found to contain foreign or deleterious SUBJ
stances, the Heurich beers. as well as the
others made in this city, naturally came
under suspicion as being impure or adulter-
ated Mr.. Heurich declined to allow MS
products to remain under a cloud, know
ing full we'll that only the best and purest
ingredients were used in their MANUFACTURE
He therefore applied to the Commissioner
Of Agrc Llture for the analysis OF the sam
pies Of his beer.

their pilgrimages to witness the interesting
and instructive process of modern beer
making and to visit the vast storage rooms
where 1t is perpetual winter.
Mr.. Heurich commenced to build his Sec
ond brewery, on Goth street. in 1877 and
1878. owing to the rapid growth Of his
business. In 1881 and 1882. his business ex
pansion continuing, he again found 1t nee
essary to increase the size of his estab-
lishment. The present great plant is his
browning triumph The marked success of
Mr.. Christian Heurich is a matter of con-
graduation to .-.mself and a matter Of
pride to the city for which he has done SO
much to upbuild
The winning of the silver medal at the
Paris exposition by Mr.. Heurich was most
significant. In January of 1900 shipment
Of bottled beer was made through the De-
partment of Agriculture, in connection with
their exhibit, for exh bition, and in the
May following shipment of beer was made
direct to the Paris exposition. The latter
never arrived, and suit is now pending In
the courts for damages sustained through
it's loss. This necessitated, for the pur-
pose of reward, the use of the beer bottled
in January, and the award Of the silver
medal was therefore won by beer that had
been bottled six months instead OF six
weeks.

After leaving school he entered the en-
ploy Of John w. Williams. who was then on
18th street. and under Mr.. Williams super
vision he learned his trade. which at that
time took six years.
After being with Mr.. Williams for num-
Der Of years he was employed as journey
man at the United States Capitol, working
under the supervision Of Architect Clark.
Mr.. Anderson, like all young men in those
days, had a desire for western life, so he
very soon departed for Kansas. which was
a wild and uninhabited country at that time.
Mr.. Anderson. after stay of three
years in Kansas, and after seeing and
enduring all the hardships Of the rough
western life. returned to Washington and
opened an office on NJ street near 7th
street northwest. He met with great
success at this place, business increasing
SO rapidly that he was compelled to seek
larger Office and accommodations for his
work. He established an Office on street
northwest, where most of the lumber yards
and warehouse were then located. He re-
manned at this place for number of years,
and then moved up town to the corner OF
14th and T streets, where he remained five
years.
He then removed to the corner Of 18th and
streets. and here he had his office until the
building was torn down to make room for the
large building which now occupies the cor
ner. He leased the opposite corner, however,
finding this location best suited for his pur-
poses, and here he has remained up to the
present day.

1t is such Endorsements as these which
have gained for l1r. Heurich's products the
enviable and deserved reputation Of being
1.-The best beer In America" This applies
to both his lig-.. and dark beers. Heurich's
Senate has no equal as a light beer. 1t is
kept by him from eight months to year
before being placed on sale. This carries It
through the second stage Of fermentation.
That 1t Is pure and healthful, II further
evidence were needed, 1t Is only necessary
to state that leading Washington physicians
not only prescribe it for their patients, but
drink it themselves.
The famous Heurich's Maerzen, a dark
beer. has been brewed for a quarter Of a
century. 1t has stood the test Of time, and
connoisseurs declare it has no equal in the
world. not even the famous beer Of Munich.
Some Of the simpler experiments made to
demonstrate the healthfulness Of Heurich's
beers have demonstrated that an oyster left
in this beer will dissolve, whereas If placed
in wine whisky it will become hard and
tough, like piece Of leather. Cheese eaten
with Heurich'S beer Is easily digeSted, even
If entirely undigestible otherwise.
The process of brewing at the Heurich
brewery is the very best and most modern
in every detail. In the great storage cellars
the beer is perfected by aging and kept at
constant temperature by refrigeration, as
also is the hop cellar. which is secure
against germs and extraneous substances as

The cleaning of the malt, the cooling OF
the beer, the mashng-in process and the
devices for securing absolute perfection and
cleanliness are unique and unusual

drink it. all tending to prove the claim that

These include men in every walk Of life

newspaper men, artists and along through

are healthful and delicious.
Mr.. Heurich claims, and rightly, too, to be
a most practical promoter Of temperance.
He quotes of the leading thinkers Of
this age, who has declared that beer has
been the greatest agency of the century in
reducing drunkenness" An evidence of this
is contained in the recent reports Of high
army officers, who declare officially that the
adjustment Of the canteen in the army was
a serious mistake and has resulted in
whisky drinking outside of the military
posts, and consequent drunkenness, deser-
ton, court-martials and general demoraHza-
ton among the soldiers. Only beer was
sold at the army canteens

From this small beginning has grown the
great modern brewery, covering the tract
between 25th and Goth, ID and Water
streets northwest which in equipment and
quality of product is second to none in the
United States. At the very outset of his
commercial career Mr.. Heurich realized
that his business success would be deter
mined by the quality of the beer he placed
upon the market, and his sturdiest efforts
were therefore put forth to make his prod
uct better than the so-called best That he
has succeeded is in everyday evidence.
That his beer is the best is attested by the
many thousands of consumers who give
the Heurich brands their preference.
Not alone las the verdict of the public
been given In favor of the Heurich beers,
but the United States government after a
thorough analysis. in comparison with the
products of other brewerieS, has pronounced
the Heurich Maerzen and Senate beers to be
absolutely pure and wholesome. Such an

All the yeast used by Professor Wiley in
his many experiments in behalf of the
United States government is procured by
him from the Heurich brewery. He says:
Yeast is one of the most important things
in our experimental work. We use fermen-
tation in a great many Of our analytical
processes.
whenever we have any fermenting work
to do" added Professor Wiley, I'VE send
down to Mr.. Heurich for yeast, and we
have stopped using the compressed yeast
on the market because we find the yeast
furnished us by Mr.. Heurich Is very supe-
rior in it's action. l have observed 1t care

Mr. Heurich gets his high quality in
yeast by careful culture and avoidance OF
extraneous germs. AS to the exact process
he uses in working his yeast I have always

FORTY-FIVE YEARS OLD
THE JEWELRY HOUSE OF J.
KARR'S SONS.
This Firm Had Charge Of tho Time
pieces Of the House and
Senate.

A history Of the progress Of Washingtons
business enterprises would not be complete
unless mention is made Of the well-known
jewelry house of Messrs. J. Karr's Sons,
now at their new location, 1925 F street.
For forty-f1ve years this was one of the
leading business houses on Pennsylvania
avenue, and within the past few months
the firm has moved into its present commo-
dious quarters on F street.
This business was established by Mr..
Jacob Karr, who came to Washington in
1856, and q year later started in business
at what is now 319 Pennsylvania avenue,
between Sd and AZ streets as watch and
chronometer maker and jeweler. Watch
making in those days was in many respects
a different proposition to what it is today,
and the old English watches. with verge
fusee and chain. then commonly in use,
required expert workmanship. Mr.. Karr's
efficiency in this line was quickly recog-
nized and his success was assured. It was
in the latter part Of the sixties that Mr..
Karr made several business trips to Eu-
rope. making a study Of the Matchmaking
industry abroad bringing back with him
the latest improved machinery for the con-
struction of watches. 1t was at this time
that he began the importation of watches,
clocks and art goods. Mr.. Kari for years
had charge of all the chronometer repair
work in the United States naval observa-
tory, coast survey and other government
departments.
He also had charge Of the tirnepieces in
the United States Senate and House of
Representatives. Many WaShingtonians no
doubt remember the subsequent location
Of this business at 600 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., adjoining the old st. Marc Hotel. where
for years Mr.. Kari conducted his establish
ment. The location was then in the very
heart of the retail business of Washing
ton. It was here, in the eighties, that
Mr. Karr's sons, Mr.. Henry C. Karr and
a few years later Mr.. Charles F. Karr, be-
gan their active business careers, deriving
the many advantages of an established
business and a thorough training in the
technical branches of the watch and jew
elry trades Mr. Henry c. Karrs educa-
of several years abroad, and in 1888 he was
graduated from the Theological Institute
of Glashutte near Dresden, Germany. In

many years was well and favorably known
as one of Washington's leading jewelers..

A FAMOUS WHISKY.
Sales of cold Purissima" by William

Ten years ago Mr.. William Cannon was
looking for a good business opening in this
city, and he found it. His successful career
since that time as wine and liquor dealer
fully attests the wisdom of his selection OF
botn business and locality. When he
opened his establishment, first at 1918 It'll
street northwest, he had a small stock OF
goods, but large stock Of energy and am
bition, and as a result he forged ahead
until today his place in his present quar-
tiers, 1225-1227 It'll street. Is one Of the most
popular resorts in Washington.
Early in his business career Mr.. Cannon
adopted the motto, 1.-The best is none too
good" and has since applied 1t as a bust
ness rule to his well-regulated saloon. His
efforts to please all patrons worked it's own
reward in such a marked increase in his
business that he was compelled to move
to his present location in order to find suf-
f1cient room for the accommodation of his
many customers.
He keeps every leading brand of whisky
that is distilled and makes a speciality Of
ten-year-old Purissima whisky, the sales Of
which have been phenomenal and for
which he Is the agent. The residents in
the neighborhood of Mr.. Cannon's place
feel grateful to him that he keeps the best
