noted for their tin, slate, pitch, gravel

honorable, progressive business men
and among our most substantial and
widely esteemed citizens. They are at
all times prepared to give estimates
and these are usually low for high grade
production and in every line of their
business the annual output is immense,
while they pay close attention to mail
orders.

which their service is held by local

that they do all the baggage work for

The establishment here of the agency
of the Moline-Bain company was a
great tribute to the advantages possess

and all of these are made from the
finest wood and iron stock obtainable.

Z. 7. Haydock vehicles are handled,
while in all lines articles are sold at

other lines they handle, they do large
transfer and storage business and have
ample facilities to meet the demand in
this line. Mr.. Turner is a progressive
business man and is an expert in agri-
cultural machinery and has developed
the business to its present very i'm
portant position as a substantial enter
prise.

THE b. scHADE BREWING 90.

1t has been thoroughly demonstrated
that in America we can make as fine
beer as in any country of the world
and, consequently, many critical Gus
toners are discarding imported goods
and insisting on having the native prod
uct. Spokane has located in her midst
several citizens who are enterprising
and progressive business men and have
adopted the motto, "Not to be behind
in anything" and no one will dispute
this fact as they have just completed
the finest brewery in the northwest.
The B. Schade Brewing company is To-
Gated at the corner of Sheridan and
Front street and is undoubtedly one
Of the finest and best equipped any
where in the old or new worlds. They
occupy a fine brick building, 250xl50
feet in ground area, and they have in
stalled all the latest and most i'm
proved machinery for the brewing of

hops as we'll as the best malt and the
pure sparkling waters for which our
city is noted are employed, and these
are placed in the hands of brewers
expert in the minutest detail of pro-
ducing the best beer. The company be-
gan brewing two months ago and from
its inception it has proved to be aa
fine beer as that of any of its famous
competitors. The officers of the com-
pany are Mr.. B. Schade, president and
treasurer, and Mr.. w. j. Mraz, vice
president and secretary. both of whom
are progressive and publicspirited bust
ness men and are posted in every detail
of the business and have been connected
with the largest breweries in this sec
ton of the republic, and this estab.
lishment is a credit to our city and
deserves to the fullest extent the
patronage of our citizens who believe in
upbuilding home industry.
