The Distillery building is a large
brick and steel edifce, with a present
capacity Of 1900 bushels Of rye, or 100
barrels for each ten hours 1t contains
room enough for the installation Of ad-
ditional machinery for making double
this amount. The machinery of tho
distillery includes large gradual rednc-
ton roller mills, such as are found in
the best Touring mills of the country,

ises, following special designs needed
for the manufacture Of this high-class
product, MASKING is accomplished in
two large, steel mash tubs. The fer

equipped in the most approved manner,

contaminated fermentation. The yeast

shut off from all outside influences
which might cause any disturbance or

standard stock yeast, made at frequent
intervals in pure culture apparatus
designed especially for this house.
The large elevator building Of over
100000 bushels capacity is n regular
Chicago elevator in style, equipped with
the most modern conveniences for grad
ing and cleaning the grain. The finest
grain of the harvest fields of this vast
country is carefully selected by trained
experts, and sent here to be stored
under direct supervision until used in
making the famous Guckenhcimer Rye.
This care in the selection of the grain
has great deal to do with the ex-

500 bushels per day. Here is manu-
factured the highest grade malt made
in this or any other country, owing to

cease with the manufacture of the
whisky, for storage comes in for its
share of attention. When the whisky

fairs. The whisky is deposited, after
gauging, in one of the seven large
United States Bonded Warehouses,
whose total capacity Is 100000 barrels,
where 1t is subjected TO the process of
aging for a period not exceeding eight
years. Here 1t is given the best at
tention that experience and skill can
command until it becomes mature and
is withdrawn.
Part of this whisky is shipped away
to the trade in barrels, while another
and increasing portion passes into the
large bonded bottling house, whose
capacity is now running from fifty TO
ninety barrels per day. Here from rs
TO 100 girls are employed filing, label

to see that the whisky is placed in the
bottles, cased and sent out to the trade
