tmAxBygieais and Pure Food
Exposition at Antwerp.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 5.-Valued
above the other hundreds of awards voted
to the Pabst Brewing company by ma
tional and International expositions held
at various times in the last few decades,
q COLLECTION Of awards which was received
by Col Gustaye Pabst from Antwerp will
occupy q higher place in the esteem OF. the
company than all the other medals in the
Pabst collection.
The awards were brought to Milwaukee

tional Hygienic and Pure Food ezposi-
ton at Antwerp, Belgium, and include the

medal and a diploma deliberately studded
With seals of noted Europeans, and set
ting forth that Pabst "Blue Ribbon" the
beer of quality, received the highest award
for purity and excellence at the great ex-
position held In Antwerp. The awards
were made only after the severest tests
known to enlightened science, and dem
onstrate, under the signatures and seals
Of the jury andw commissioners, that the
product of the Pabst Brewing company
stood alone among hundreds of other
beers submitted at Antwerp for Che ex-
haustive tests of experts.
The arrival of the special messenger
from Belgium was an event at the offices
of the Pabst Brewing company, and al
ready the medals have been exhibited to
many Milwaukeeans interested in the ex-
cellence of this city's product as com
pared with that of the best known brew
cries in two h%emispheres.
GET HIGHEST POSSIBLE HGNORS.
The gold medal, which is about two and
q half inches in diameter, bears on one
side the head in relief of King Leopold
Of Belgium, who was the patron of the
exposition at Antwerp. On the other side
is a likeness, also in relief, OF the huge
building at Antwerp. in which the pure
food and hygienic exhibit was held.
The Cross of honor, or grand prize, is of
beautiful design, somewhat similar to
other high European orders. 1t bears
decorations of oak leaves set in gold and
red enamel. In the middle of the medal
proper Is the coat of arms of the city of
Antwerp. The medal is attached to the
crown of Belgium, which in turn is sus-
pended from a ribbon of the tri-color of
Belgium.
DIPLOMA OF BEAUTIFUL DESIGN.
The diploma setting forth the fact that
"Blue Ribbon" beer was awarded the
grand p,i1 at the Antwerp exposition is a
haap1t,uAE designed doanasrt beastng
