WilDISCH-MUHLHAUSER BREWING CO
As an outgrowth of personal energy and
well directed effort the extensive brewing
plant ot tne Windisch-Muniiiauser Brewing
Company (Lion Brewery) is one of the
greatest Ohio. The exemplifications in the state of
business was founded in 1867 by
Mr. Conrad Windisch, Gottlieb Muhlhauser
and Henry Munitiauser as O. Windisch,
Muhlhauser & Bro., and in 1881 was in¬
corporation as the YV indisch-Aiuhlhauser
Brewing 'iageR'YJ«iUf Company, having a paid-up capi
v mi* ^ush.great favor energy has
nized by
.and • i * i ■ 'i'.' t" a .i
the
i—ry buildii igs
,JLW eet frontage on the
_ ot riy street, extending east and
j
■PP^^ver F”rhe buildings a block. covering this large
clude the area in¬
ducing brewery, with a capacity for pro¬
over 300,500 barrels per annum; the
malt house, with about 4Uo,000 bushels of
malt capacity per year; engine house, sta¬
bles, etc. The brewery equipment is ail of
modern make, including four ice machines
with a refrigerating ability equaling 350 tons
of ice per day. Tne cellars are considered
among the linest in the world, maintaining
an atmosphere Fahrenheit, and temperature of 32 de¬
grees capable of the best re¬
sults in maturing the product of the brew¬
ing ket'.es, producing a uniformly high
grade of beer.
The demand for the Lion beer has steadily
grown since the first was placed upon tiie
market, and now over OoO barrels per day
are required to till their orders, or annually
about 200,1)00 barrels. This is very largely'
consumed in Cincinnati and Us suburbs,
where tiie inhabitants have time out of
mind Deen considered expert judges of a
brand of beer. But the trade of the house
is widely distributed also through tiie
states of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia,
ida, Michigan Maryland, Georgia, Flor¬
and Iowa. These
states i consume about 100,000 barrels
of Windisch-Muhlhauser beer every year,
with a growing demand in every direction.
Were ti e transportation of brewery' prod¬
uct from Cincinnati given the consideration
by the railway companies that is accorded
the same in England this outside trade
would be largely augmented to the city’s
benefit. The freight rates on beer and the
! return, militates at against full rates, reaching of the far-aivay empty kegs,
I materially. In England points
] very the bare cost
of transportation is charged for the return
of empty kegs, and if such a concession were
! made by tiie railroads centering in Cincin
nati it would lead to the speedy increase
of beer shipments, as Cincinnati beer is in
! great favor in all parts of the United States,
; owing to its high reputation for purity,
healthfulness and general excellence.
Tiie brands of the Lion brewery, used to
designate the various grades in strengtn and
for special uses, are the "Lion Export,’’
! bottled; the "Pilsener,” their “Old Lager,”
1 “Lion Brew” and "Standard,” each being
j carefully brewed to most thoroughly' fill
their respective places as the highest type
of beers—as pleasant and invigorating bev
j erages. To the Windisch-Muhlhauser brewery has
been granted the exclusive bar privileges
of the Cotton States and International expo
j | sition visit the at Atlanta, exposition and the will thousands find there who
great
the best that this country produces in the
line of lager beer, as well as the best the
exhibiting states can present in other lines
, of manufacture.
The company has agents in Atlanta, Mo
bile, Nashville. Lexington, Ky„ Pensacola,
New Orleans, Brunswick and other towns
j ! throughout the south.
The bottling of beer has become an impor
tant branch of the brewing industry, but of
all the different brands put on the market
none excels the Lion Export bottled beer of
the Windisch-Muhlhauser Brewing Compa
! n>\ Its purity and strength are well known
and universally appreciated by all who ever
had a chance to try it. It is aged and ripe
1 and excellent ir every respect and the num¬
ber of its friends and patrons is increasing
daily. The output of the Lion bottling
works is simply immense, showing better
than all arguments in what high regard the
Lion Export is held by all that drink It,
and the steady’ increase of its sale proves
its most convincingly the true appreciation of
excellent quality by all who know the
hvgienic value of a delicious and nutritious
malt beverage, produced exclusively from
t he best and purest materials.
One of the prettiest sights in the agrlrul
j tural building is the pavilion of the Win- of
disch-Muhlhauser Brewing Company,
i incinnati. The booth, about twenty feet
square, is trimmed verv tastefully in cream
a n<j gold on the outside, and the interior is
decorated in pink and white and elegant
lace curtains, while large lion heads, the
emblem of the Lion brewery, adorn the
frieze. Numerous incandescent lights il

ATATLANTA
THEIR MAGNIFICENT
PAVILION
A MARVEL OF
BEAUTY!
ALL NATIONS TYPIFIED.
One of the most attractive and at the
same time most comprehensive exhibits at
the Atlanta exposition is that of the Chris¬
tian Moerlein Brewing Company of Cin¬
cinnati. And it is at the same time one
of the most expensive. The matter of dol¬
lars and dimes never figures with the
Moerlein people. They produce the intended
effect and pay the bill. At the Centennial
exposition of the Ohio valley and central
states at Cincinnati their exhibit was one
of the most striking and people viewed its
heroic proportions in wonder. At Chicago
it was really the sensation of the agricul¬
tural building. No exhibit was more talked
about. And the story is repeated at At¬
lanta.
The dazzling feature of the agricultural
building is the Moerlein Brewing Company’s
exhibit. It is in the center of the hall, just
south of the central entrance and on the
east side. It typifies the various nations of
- World it. ia -©£ ?’vtjiaocing’ hppiltv.
It is which a'^ contained in a magnificent pa
vVAon, is an exhibit of itself and is
at once Greek in stateliness and oriental
in gorgeousness. It stands twenty-seven
feet square and is forty feet high. The
wood work is staiqed in various colors,
yellow and blue predominating, with touch¬
ings of red and purple. Rising over the
dome is a man in full armor on horseback
and he bears aloft a guidon with the words:
* THE CHRISTIAN MOERLEIN *
* *
* BREWING COMPANY', *
• »
* CINCINNATI, OHIO. *
*
At each of the four corners of the roof
is a mammoth “M,” the monogram and
trademark of the company. The letters are
finished in gold and are kept revolving by a
mechanism underneath. The hangings of
the building are elegant in texture and
rich in color and effects.

The ceiling represents the sky, studded
w ’ ;t h stars. Clustered at the corners and
about the supporting pillars and py'ramids
are 400 electric jets. In the center of the
pavillion are two figures representing the
sultan and sultana of Turkey’ standing
upon an immense cask. The sultan holds a
horn to his lips as though to announce by
its blast the discovery of the art of fer¬
mentation. Around these personages is a
group of historic figures in wax on a re¬
volving platform. Columbia in the national
colors holding aloft the stars and stripes
and bearing the starry shield of the re
public. Pocahontas in characteristic cos
tume also represents America,
Next come the figures of Charles V, king
of Spain, and Isabella, his queen, repre¬
senting Europe. A blooming lass in pink,
garlanded with roses and morning glories
typifies summer.
Asia is represented by Hiram, king of
Tyre, and his queen is Autumn, a brown¬
eyed beauty, her arms filled with clusters
of grapes.
Africa is represented by the queen of the
Nile, Cleopatra, luxurious and cruel. A
black girl holds over her head a fan of
peacock’s tails. Then comes Winter, typi¬
fied by a woman in garments of snowy
white and wearing a hood of white fur. The
figures are all strikingly' handsome speci¬
mens of the art mat produced them.
There are sixteen supporting pillars,
grouped in fours, elaborately carved and
ornamented. Each set of pillars incloses a
revolving pyramid composed of bottles of
various sorts, sizes and colors and filled
with different brews of the Moerlein com¬
pany. Here is the famous “Jug L -.ger,”
the universally popular “National Export”
and then that most delicious of all extra
pale beers, “Barbarossa.” A magnificent
display of bottled goods occupies the floor
space and a cup-bearer rises at each of
the pyramids holding out a glass of the
tempting fluid. There are also some fine
paintings in oil to adorn and attract.
It is an exhibit that always rises con¬
spicuous from a distance and’ attracts the
visitor again and again. One invariably
pauses before it whenever passing.
All this causes the mind to revert to the
man who made all this possible. And in
the answer is found a self-made man and
a thoroughly representative and progressive
citizen. His sons now have the advantage
and benefit cf his experience in conducting
the great brewing plant. The stamp of
Moerlein on their product is as good as
their bond and their brew is drank the wide
world over. Their great brewery in Cin¬
cinnati has a capacity of 500,000 barrels
annually’ and an army of workmen is era
ployed. In every first-class restaurant and
hotel, on the Pullman buffet and dining
cars the Moerlein beer is always found.
Doctors recommend it to their patiq' , ts and
to the tired traveler it^is as refreshing as
it Is wholesome, and to the tired visitor at
the exposition it is reviving and starts him
on his round anew.

The John C. Iioth Packing Company is
the egitimate successor of several arms,
which commenced cue packing business
thirty years ago. Mr. Jouu U. Roth, the
senior member, has been conneeceU with
each successive firm and is still the head
of this industry and possesses the position
enviable to all, but emulated by ^w. Mr.
Roth's integrity in business has been his
mastodonic teacure, and it benooves many
of our leading merchants throughout the
United Elates to copy ms methods.
This firm has devoted its attention exclu
siveiy to sugar cured meais and the pro
duct is the envy of all competitors. The
excellence attained is proverbial, ana when
their brand goods are not obtainable by
customers the te.ee of common sense de
manus ail merchants to conform to tne
necessities ol public supply; consequently
the increase of business is such as to
necessitate a staff ot employes unequaieu
by any firm in their department of com
merce in the United States and probably
in uie world.
For years the Dusiness of this establisn
ment has grown steadily and wnn its
growth increased facilities have been pro
vided, and today it has larger and better
accommodations for an the operations nec
essary for the curing of meats tlian any
other house in the United States of
America or any other country. The growtn
of tne business transacted by this firm may
be inferred by the fact that in ls50 it
cured 314,000 hams alone while the product
of 1855, at a small computation, will reach
600 000. This is only oue branch of their
business. Success prompted this enterpri3
ing nrm to go still fartner on their pros

The Largest Veneering Establish¬
ment in the World.
The Marvel of All Visitors
TO THE
Atlanta Exposition.
Cincinnati’s Pride
and Glory.
An Exhibit of the Choicest Woods
Collected from All Quarters
of the Globe.
A HOUSE WITH AN INTERNA¬
TIONAL REPUTATION.
There is nothing so beautiful or tasteful
to the eye as good woods skillfully ar¬
ranged in either internal or external de¬
coration, or substantial construction of an
editiee, be it domestic or ecclesiastic.
Although Cincinnati enjoys a plentitude
of great products—each in its excellence
dominating the output of other cities of
the United States—tne K. D. Albro Compa¬
ny stands pre-eminent in its department,
and has added enduring laurels to the city
of Cincinnati.
One of the most beautiful exhibits at the
Atlanta exposition is that of the above
named firm. This concern has been estab¬
lished for so miyiy years, and it lias had
so many dealings throughout the world,
being the largest veneering establishment
in the world, with possibly one exception,
that they need no introduction to the
trade. For fine interior finishing for banks,
offices and residences, or for veneering for
piano and furniture manufacturers, the K.
D. Albro Company is headquarters, buying
as they do, directly from their own per¬
sonal representatives in Africa, India, the
Black Sea and London, and running their
own ships to Mexico.
A tour through their establishment is a
liberal education in itself. Here can be
found the fragrant) lanaloe of Mexico,
the mahogany of Mexico, the ebony of
Ceylon, the Spanish cedar of Mexico, the
mahogany of Cuba, the amaranth of Af¬
rica, the English brown oak of England,
the Spanish oak of Spain, the satin wood
of San Domingo, the rose wood of Brazil,
the Circassian walnut of the mountains of
the Caucasus, the padouk of India, the
zebra of Africa, the camphor of China, the
tulip of Brazil, the cocobola of shittim Brazil,
the prima vera of Mexico, the
of Palestine, the olive wood of Spain, be¬
sides the domestic woods—red cedar, pop
lar, walnut, white ash, hazelwood, white
oak, California red wood, red birch, curly
yellow pine, white holly, bird’s-eye maple,
cherry, sycamore and others. With ample
capital, unsurpassed facilities and advanc¬
ed business methods, this concern easily
holds the lead in the building, decorating,
furniture and cigar box trades as absolute¬
ly reliable in every way. The following
article written by a well-known corre¬
spondent, is appended:
An immense Establishment.
By M. W. Larue, Resident Cincinnati Cor¬
respondent of The American Cabinet
Maker. .
The importance of Cincinnati as a center
for all the line woods for beauty arid fin¬
ish of interior work, whether of railroad
or street cars, fine offices or dwellings,
steamboat and steamship interiors, is par¬
ticularly emphasized-at the vast works,
yards ana warehouses of ‘the
E. D. Albto Company on W. Sixth Street
Here are in operation full ten hours a
day, and every day, numbers of “sheers,'
“rotaries, ” and “burl cutters,” making
vefieers of all the line woods, mahogany,
rosewood, amaranth, tulip, holly, walnut,
maple, birch and numerous others, rang
Jn g j n thickness from 120 down to 10 or 12
the inch, and two, and sometimes more,
of the finest saws cutting suefi knots ana
crotches as would probably refuse to suo
mit to the knives.
All these implements and the men nec
essary to attend them aggregate an im
mense output of the commercial article ue
signated veneers
' lhe capacity of a single “slicer” is such
that a mention of it would seem incredible.
The “rotary” is even more capacious, while
the “burl cutter” (a kmfe on an eccentric)
i S vastly capacious in the matter of output,
the saw, tnougn very rapid for a mere
saw. being the slowest of tnem all. Yet ah
tnese machines are kept busy supplying
the demand steadily being made upon
them.
Besides all this two band saw mills are
as steadily engaged in cutting boards oi
fine wood.
-^ n expert in the fine lumber business
who has lately returned from an extended
visit to the east, and incidental visits to
its greatest iine-wood mills, tells me tnere
is not a single plant of the kind anywhere
that is doing a moiety of the lumber and
veneer done by cutting or handling that is being
this western institution, and that
it frequently seemed to him, as lie was
making the rounds of the establishments
of tne city of New York, that the amount
altogether they were doing was little or
more than the Albro Company was doing,
The log yard of the company generally
shows at one time great neks or Honau
ras, Mexican and South American mahog
any, and prima vera (a white mahogany
from the Pacific coast of Mexico), £il,^ logs of
bach, amaranth, African rcu
American tulip and numerous other
woods as they come from the forests,

does not seenl surprising that ail the
f °rce sometimes feel the business to be one
continuous grind, and express a curiosity
^ now whether it will ever be less so.
A few >’ ears a &° a va st majority of the
Product of their establishment was taken
by the funsure manufacturers, chiefly in
the west < but today it is probable that that
industry is deeply in the minority, and that
interior fitters, whether of houses^ rooms
leaving or cars, take pitiful 65 to 25 75 per 35 cent of the'output,
a to per cent for the
makers of furniture.
These gentlemen buy very largely In the
forests of the foreign and domestic woods,
but if their favorite cuttings show a scar
Clty of the class of wood they want, they
&° to London, where most of those high
grade products find their way, and then
P ick out and buy what they want, and this
this they do two or three times a year, thus
at cne time buying raw material and learn

is in demand and proper prices to fix upon
it.

PROGRESS!
■COMPRESSED YEAST*
\\ hile arbitration is taking the place of
brute force; while medical science is build¬
ing up the shattered frame, and making
a new man out of a wreck; while theology
is widening Its scope and taking in tiie
theories of all the peoples of the globe;
and electricity is superceding steam, there
are numerous other evidences of progress
coming in nearer contact with the masses,
of ejecting the human more race, directly whose the development weal and woe is
quite as rapid and whose held of usefulness
quite as large.
We will mention “fermentation” pz one
of the most prominent of these; A little
more than a quarter of a century ago the
public baker and practical housewife were
forced to use the slow and uncertain brew¬
ers yeast, or worse, the dry yeast, which
is only a more uncertain form of fermenta¬
tion than the brewers’ liquid article, lor
their ‘‘stock’’ for bread and fancy bakings.
Now the sorrows of the baker and house¬
wife are turned into joy, and the Fleisoh
mann in Compressed Yeast is a commodity
the cities, villages and hamlets of the
world.
Mr. Fleischmann in the year ’67 realizing
that there was an immense Held open for
a good yeast, started, in connection with
Mr. Janies Gaff, a factory at Riverside,
Cincinnati, Ohio, for the manufacture of
compressed yeast, and one year later
started a similar factory at Blissville,
After the usual ups and downs always
to be gone through with in all new enter¬
prises, and the expenditure of a large
amount of money, the people began to rtal
ize the virtue of Fleisehmann’s Compress¬
ed Yeast, and the demand began to grow.
In the year 1883 Mr. Fleischmann bought
out the Gaff interest in the business and
began to push the business to a success¬
ful issue, changing the name from Gaff,
Fleischmann & Co., to Fleischmann & Co.
The change of the name appeared to give
an business impetus to the trade, and the volume of
from that date daily increased,
until today Fleischmann & Co.’s Yellow
Label Yeast is a household word over the
entire western hemisphere.
This revolution has been accomplished
in less than a quarter of a century. And
while the cost of bread-making nas been
greatly lessened, the quality has been
very much improved. This firm with their
large factories scattered over the entire
country, are enabled to send their yeast
by express to all points in the United
States and Canadas daily, and their means
of distributing their product embraces over
1,200 light delivery wagons and about 5,000
men.
Mr. Charles Fleischmann and his son.
Colonel Julius Fleischmann, own and op¬
erate the business, dividing up the im¬
mense enterprise upon the shoulders of
competent lieutenants.
This yeast is a purely vegetable pro¬
duction and in its manufacture, Messrs.
Fleischmann & Co. daily consume over
4,000 bushels of malt, rye and corn. As Is
the case with all pioneers, an immense
amount of money and brains were expended
in perfecting and introducing this yeast,
and the usual number of imitators and
frauds have from time to time tried to
foist poor imitations upon the market. Lib¬
eral advertising and a discriminating pub¬
lic, however, have so thoroughly triumphed
that Messrs. Fleischmann & Co. are called
upon yearly to increase the capacity of
their various plants and service.
For the bakers’ trade this yeast is put up
neatly in pound packages with full direc¬
tions for use and manner of keeping same
in best condition. For family use it Is
put up in the small tin foil package 'wYvfi '—
the yellow label and si^p.a&ore ~"io well
known in the United States and Car.adas,
that no family supply h, now considered
complete without it. —
THE HAUSER, BRENNER
& FATH COMPANY,
Lhe Great Cincinnati Cooperage Works.
A REMARKABLE EXHIBIT AT THE
EXPOSITION.
sive Cincinnati, O., has one of the most exten¬
and reliable concerns in the country
engaged in the manufacture of casks and
barrels and they have a wonderful exhibit
at the great southern exposition. The
Hauser, Brenner & Fath Company are well
known among the liquor men and wine
growers of the country, because their
product is the very best and is equal to
the most exacting requirements of their
large and growing trade. A novelty of the
Atlanta show is the immense cask which
have tne Hauser, Brenner and Fath Company
there to excite the astonishment of
visitors. This great cask will hold 5,000 gal¬
lons, and is one of eighty sold to Garrett
& Co., wine growers, Weldon, N. C. The
substantial manner in which this cask has
been constructed, with the durable appear¬
ance of the other casks and barrels of this
enterprising Cincinnati firm, has directed
unusual attention to their exhibit, which
is located in the center of the
west side of agricultural hall, a part
of the exposition _ where ,
be so many Cincinnati
concerns are to found. Clustered around
the monster wine cask are the latest and
ky most improved patterns of beer kegs, whis¬
barrels and gm pipes. The Hauser, Bren¬
ner and Fath Company have achiev
ed success in their I articular branch
of manufactures a n their exhib
it at Atlanta is a very good
and instructive one and provokes all sorts
of inquiries as to how many barrels and
casks are made, the material used In their
manufacture, what the annual output is and
where they go. The Hauser, Brenner and
Fath Company have a. display that is ad¬
mirable and helps to impress upon people
generally what a great, big manufacturing
city Cincinnati must be.
THE POST-GLOVER ELECTRIC COMPANY,
A Leading Cincinnati House Awarded a
Medal at tiie » otton States and.In¬
ternational Exposition.
As at the world’s fair in Chicago, the
electrical display at Atlanta receives more
attention than almost any other depart¬
ment of the great exposition. There is
something almost occult about the opera¬
tions of the mysterious fluid, which during
the past few years has revolutionized many
branches of i Justry and commerce, and
the discoveries of which appear only to have
tions begun. In electrical appliances and inven¬
Cincinnati, through the well-known
concern of The Post-Glover Electric Com¬
pany, takes a leading position, and this en
terprising company’s exhibit attracts In
ternational attention. m
Their exhibit at Atlanta Is a merito
one and has attracted much attention from
visitors. It consists of a general line of
interior conduit tubing, porcelain goods,
electric fans, motors, fiber insulating ma¬
terial, batteries, wire weatherproof and
lamps, rubber-covered, headlights, incandescent
bells and push buttons and a general
line of street railroad construction materl
als. H - $££■
The Post-Glover Electric Company is one
of the youngest houses engaged in that
branch of business in Cincinnati, but has al¬
ready secured the leading position in their
line of trade. The house was organized in
1832, succeeding to the electric department
of Post & Co. In May, 1893, the business
was incorporated with a capital stock of
550,000, with the following officers: Oliver
Kinsev, president: Samuel W. Glover, vice
president, and Frank D. Van Winkle, sec¬
retary. Their offices and salerooms are lo¬
cated at 315 West F'ourth street, with ware
rooms at 130 West Pearl street.
The business of the company consists of
the manufacture and sale of a general line
of electrical and street railway appliances
and supplies. In the latter business, which
is a specialty with the house, they manu¬
facture, under their own patents, a general
line of hangers, ears, insulators, etc., for
overhead construction work.
The tiade of the company now extends
throughout the states of Ohio, Indiana. II
Hnois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee.
Georgia and Alabama.
The members of the firm are all young
men of progressive ideas, who are bound to
succeed, thus adding materially to the com¬
mercial prosperity of the city of Cincinnati.
