ABERDEEN BREWING CO.

Ever since it has been admitted that
the m ,nuiacturing OF beer made Milwau-
kee famous. no city with any pretensions
has ever thougnt of forging to the trout
without it had brewery to lead the as
sault upon its imaginary foes. With this
view of the situation, Aberdeen early
secured a brewery, and 1t has been pros.
pering ever since-that is the town as
well as the company. The breweries of
Milwaukee not only made good beer but
they also adopted a phrase which prob
ably did as much good as an advertising
feature as was accomplished by the beer,
and it was this: "rhe Beer that Made
Milwaukee Famous" With this slogan
in use it about settled the beer question
until the managers OF the Aberdeen
Brewery Co. got their heads together
and decided upon the kind OF phrase it
should use TO not only help Aberdeen
but down its Milwaukee rivals. 1t took
some time to arrive at a conclusion, hut
when it was reached it was evident that
work, when this was given to the public:
"The Beer that Makes Milwaukee Jeal-
ous." And, by the way, there is more
truth than poetry in the sta ement; beer
drinkers. including the men and women.
admit this to be fact. However, the
reason is plain-it contains the best ma.
terial and has the distinction of having
been made at home. In other words,
no loyal Aberdeen citizen would think
about insulting his stomach by using
any other kind OF beer. This is one of
the cases where the republican doctrine
applies very forcibly: "LeJ good enough
alone"
The Aberdeen Brewing Co. was estab-
lished in 1902 with capital stock OF
100000, and since that time the manage
ment has had difficulty many times in
keeping pace with the ever increasing
demand. A large part OF the output is
consumed by the cities along the upper
coast, and the surplus stock meets a
ready sale in such cities as Portland,
San Francisco and San Pedro, and, as it
has been said, wherever it obtains a loot
hold it stays to tighten the burdens OF
the people.
The company's "Prima" beer and the
Aberdeen Porter are equal to the very
best product OF any country, young or
old, and this is made plain when the
United States Health Bulletin said: ''lts
high degree OF perfection, its freedom
from adulteration, together with the
purity of the water used in its manufac-
ture, and the sanitary and hygenic meth
DDS employed both in production and de-
livery, entitle it to " recommended
solely in the interests OF health and
purity"
With such a recommendation as this it
is no wonder that the physician recog-
nizjug the fact that Good beer is really
food" often presclibes it, especially
when his patient is able to secure that
made by the Aberdeen Brewing Co.
The officers OF the company are: Alvin
Heinrich, OF Seattle, president; (Mr.
! Heinrich is member OF the Heinrich
Bros. Brewing Co., and one OF the most
prominent brewers OF the Pacific coast. }
| A. L. Mcleod, secretary. Mr.. Mcleod
came to Aberdeen in June, 1908, from
/ Seattle, where he had been with the
! Bradstreet company. lie is a very
pleasant gentleman to meet, and it is
easily seen that the company has a
( power i'll its secretary.
/ The company employs large number
oil skilled workmen, and its payroll helps
swell the stream which makes Aberdeen
such hummer. The company has a
large investment here and the people
appreciate it by standing by it and con.
Stunning its product. And when we say
! this we do not wish to intimate that
Aberdeen citizens are forever dry, be-
cause this is city OF moderation and
temperance, and these conditions make
the brewing business a very delightful
one.
