In the world and the
only one outside of perhaps one or two
manufacturing plants in the east
where everything pertaining to bee
culture can be found at all seasons
of the year. This great industry Is
located at 1888 and 739 Also street, and
was established in the month OF April.
1908, by M. r. Madary and G. n.
Clayton, both having years of expert
ence in bee culture and having per-

ket all that vast territory extending to
Idaho on the north, Mexico on the
south, Texas on the east and to the
Hawaiian islands, the Philippines and
beyond on the west. In addition to the
making of doors, windows and beehives
the company manufactures fruit pick
ing and shipping boxes of every de-
scription, everything being made of
California wood. These supplies are Of
such excellent make and quality that
they have become famous wherever
they have been used, and wherever
known the demand for the goods of the
company has been steadily growing.
The Madary supply house takes pride
in the superior character of its prod

hand they invite competition, knowing
that no other factory can win out in a
contest. The main manufacturing
plant of the Madary company Is es-
tablished at Fresno, where over two
hundred men are employed at the big

One of the oldest and best appointed
brewery establishments doing business
on the Pacific coast, and one that has
made itself and it's superior products
famous in the entire southwest, in the
states and territories tributary to Los
Angeles, and even in foreign countries
is the celebrated Maier Brewing COM
pany, whose immense industry is es-
tablished on Also street. No similar
industry In the country Is more COM
plete in it's many buildings, it's modern
equipments and appliances for pro-
ducing beer that the people like and
want every day in the year. The
products are in constant and growing
demand. Maier beer is on sale every
where because the people demand 1t,
and consequently the big plant is kept
running to it's fullest capacity to sup
ply the local and outside trade.
The Maier Brewing company is the
successor of the Maier & Zobelein
Brewing company which was organ
lied in 1882 and became the successor
of the old Philadelphia Brewery the
owners at that time being Joseph
Maier and George Zobeleln, who con-
trolled comparatively few shares OF
the stock. The old brewery, crude in
its way. but capable of producing a
quality of beer that was readily sold
in the city. was the foundation for the
present Splenulu pltll, WHICH, "no w

sonal direction of the late Joseph
Maier. This brewery was his pride
and he lived to see 1t enlarged and
improved to its present vast proper

on the coast and the equal OF the pest
and largest in the country west OF
Kansas City. The big plant covers
between eleven and twelve acres OF
ground and with it's immense buildings,
some of which are six stories hign.
the company has an advantage over al
local competitors in having ample
space for the storage and agelng or
all beer made before placing the proc
uct on the market. All of the mach1n-
cry used is of the best and latest I'M
proved design, and special faciiltles are
provided for producing an exceLen.

excelled on the American continent.
At the present time the Maier Brewlng
company are making about $4,000 Dot
ties of beer annually and are making
regular shipments to all sections OF
California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mex
leo and even as far as Honolulu: pc
sides furnishing fully one-half OF the
beer consumed in the city OF Los All
geles. The company make their own
malt and buy all barley in the state
thus aiding local labor and nome pro-
duction.
There are many reasons why the
Maier Brewing company products meet
with universal approval. One OF the
principal reasons Is that at all times
the company has endeavorec 10 pro-
