The entire plant is of brick and stone.
and is absolutely flgeproof. ali the grid
ers being of steel and concrete and the
floors of cement ana concrete The plant
is lighted by electricity and all the cell
lars and hop bins are cooled by one OF
the finest refrigeTating plants ever In
stalled In the country. The most expert
scientific knowledge has been employed
in the construction OF this plant. II has
been asceTtained at Just what tenpera-
tuure the various ingredients OF the beer
ought 70 be kept IN order 20 secure the
best results, and this temperature Is
maintained at all times
Another unique feature OF the Heurich
plant Is that All the cellars which are
used for the aRsing OF beer and for the
refining processes are above ground, are
wen lighted and thoroughly ventilated.
IN the preparation of the mash from
which the beer Is finally brewed, the In
gradients are weighed five distinct times
IN the course Of the mixing In order to
obtain the most accurate results and
maintain the same high standard OF
general excellence in every charge. Cop
per vessels are largely used IN the max
Ing OF the Heurich beer. and after every
process OF brewing they are carefully
cleaned. This. Of course. adds 20 the
expense OF the process. but when the
product goes forth the mana cement can
feel sure that the best beer IN the eOun-
try Is being sent 10 consumers.
The storage capacity Of the brewing
company is more than its competitors
combined. Just at present the company
is installing at enormous expense glass
lined steel tanks Of many thousand bar
rels' capacity for the storage Of its re-
noWned beers.
No beer leaves the Hsurich brewery
that has not been properly aged. The

market for over twenty-five years. IS

a partner. but he soon purchased the
latter's interest and determined TO carry
on the plant Independently. His brew
cry was almost pitifully small at that
time. and the amount of beer turned
out annually did not exceed lao barrels.
Not in the least daunted by the fact
that his equipment was so inadequate,
Mr. Heurich kept steadily at WORK
bringing into play all his skill and nat
ural talents IN making the best possible
beer, and Mr.. HeuTich has the record ss-
tablished that he was the first man VINO

brewing plant began to be geneIEss sis.
known for the very excellent Qualltles
of it's beer. Soon the Maerzeh brand De-
came the most popular beer IN al
Washington. 1t was the faYoflte beV-
erage in the bufIets, at the restaurants,
and in the private homes. It became
more or less of fad 10 have 9daefEen
on all occasions. During the rapid
growth in popularity OF this beer Mr.
HeuTich never for moment relnqulsh-
ed his untiring efforts 10 maintain the
highest possible standard OF excellence
and purity in his product. This fact, TOO,
was early appreciated. Those who drank
the beer soon learned that they could
depend upon its general excellence,
A few years ago he met with an Cd
stacle that would have been suineient TO
battle a man with less determination.
Mr.. Heurich had always prided himself
upon the purity of his product. a COM
mittee was appointed by the Department
OF Agriculture TO analyze the various
beers for sale on the American market
This was done, and when the result was
made known the names OF the beers
were not published. but the statement
was made that in certain cities in1puri-
ties We're 70 be found in the products.
This did not please Mr. Heurich in the
least. for Il gave ground for the doubt
as to the purity OF his beer. II cast
reflection upon all the beers manufac-
tured in Washington. he, therefore. went
before the committee and requested that

In 1872 there came 10 Washington
young German, unknown, and with but
small means, He was thirty years old
at that time, and was equipped with
nothing but a great determination TO
succeed in the world. He came with all
the native simplicity and integrity OF
purpose for which Germans are so gem
orally noted. He was 10 succeed, If
possible, but not by any questionable
methods.
With such a purpose in life it is not
remarkable that Mr.. Christian Heurich
has not only gained a notable financial
success in the Capital City, but has at
the same time made a host of friends
who have learned to appreciate him.
When Mr.. Heurich came TO America
from Haina-by-Roemhild, in Sake
Meiningen, Germany, he was well
versed In the art of brewing. He had
travelled throughout Germany and other
countries in Europe studying the va
rious processes which have made the
German nation the most famous in the
world for its beers and malt. When
he first landed in America he went as
far west as Chicago, where he was en-
ployed by one of the large Western
concerns. He came back East in
short time. however. and finally de-
teTmined that Washington was a de-
sirable location for an independent
plant. At that time this city had not
awakened to the possibilities that lay
before it, and Mr.. Heurich was thought
to be more or less visionary in attempt
ing TO establish a brewing plant here.
: ne freight rates were high. and it was
necessary 10 depend almost entirely
upon local patronage to support his
plant.
During the first year Mr.. Heurieh had
The Washington times., 1906-01-28

Another notable feature of this plant
IS the fact that all the grain, hops, &c,
are carried from one part OF the build
Ing 70 another BY means of automatic
handled, and thus become contaminated
by different germs. In every respect a
degree of purity is maintained that is
a source OF wonder 10 the novice who
gees through the plant.
No adequate idea Of the system and
the general excellence can be gained eX-
eept By trip through the plant. Ali
visitors are cordially received. and after
the tour of inspection it Is not a matter
OF surprise that Mr.. HeuFich's beers
have gained reputation that is not
dimmed BY that OF any other brewing
house In the world.

The Heurich beers received the silver
medal OF awards ar the Paris exhibit
ton in 1860. This award was given on
beer that had been bottled for number
OF months. There was a delay IN the
last shipment made. which Il is con-
tended prevented the Heurich beer from
receiving the gold medal This claim is
borne out by the great triumph that
has been achieved within the past few
months. for the MaerZen and Senate

at the International Exposition held in
Ldege. Belgium.

general al Liege 70 MF Heurich an
nounees the fact. In this letter the
consul general takes occasion TO say that
in view Of the fact that there were sew
ersl thousand beers competing. and az
foreign commissions are naturally
aveFse TO awarding the first prize TO an
American concern. that Mr. HeuTieh's
triumph is truly notable.
Truly this is a distinction OF which
the Washington brewer can well feel
proud.
The Washington times., 1906-01-28

One of the highest compliments ever
paid any brewer is that which Prof.
n. ". Wiley has accorded Mr. Heurich.
Prof. Wiley Is, perhaps, The foremost
chemist in America today. He is the
head of the chemical department OF the
Bureau of Agriculture. All IF the vari-
Gus beers that were exbi ois-d al the
Worlds Fair In Chicago were referred
10 him for a chemical analysis.

Such Endorsements. coming as they
do from the leading chemist OF the

the best possible evidence o. the truth

that his beer possesses purity that

PRIMARY ON ELECTION
DAY.

To the Committee whose duty
II is to select time and manner oil
holding primary we offer this
suggestion: That primary cleo
ton be the manner Of choosing
and that the time be fixed on
regular election day in November.
and at this time and by this man
ner we select a candidate for IT,.
). Senator and at tie same time
name a State ticket. From now
until November would be ample
time for all candidates to get be.
fore the people. To hold a
Democratic primary or regular
election day would create interest
and bring out a full Democratic
vote thereby swelling the Demo
cratic majorities This most
certainly is good politics and just
as well,
Some candidates might think
the time short in which to make a
personal canvass and that such a
suggestion would be in the in
terest Of the State Press. 1t is
true the press is the only avenue
by which the people can be
reached, but what the press de-
sires is what is best for all con
cerned. 1t would not bring hard
ship to any candidate, and if
quickly settled there would be
time for the healing Of all disap-
pointments.
We give these hints believing
their adoption would not entail
much expense and burden to
any candidate.
The Court Of Appeals has de
cided that an election so held Is
legal and all doubts removed we
feel sure the people who do the
deciding and who are adverse to
many elections would favor our
suggestion.
