The . cabinet and furniture department, where barroom fixtures are overhauled and repaired, is under the able management of John Plyer, a veteran of the old school. The bottling plamt is under the supervision of F. G. Geyer, a young expert, who points to the fact that all the latest improved machinery is installed In his department. C. Camp is the customer's agent, and reports that the demand for Hammond

Brewing company's beer is growing

daily in leaps and bounds. C. Wacker-

The man to whom all bow Is Frank

Fanta, the brewmaster. His delicate taste and years of experience promise

to make the home product one of the

most desirable on the market.

Behind them all is the man who

makes the wheels go around, Fred Car

ter, the general manager. The officers

and directors of the company studied

hard and long as to whom to put into this important position. The success with which the ex -sheriff has met has proven his adaptability, and it was his

love for his work that caused him to

throw politics overboard in preference

to the place he holds with the Ham mond Brewing company.

In the future the Hammond brewery

will be one of the sights of Hammond

and West Hammond. The plant is sit

uated at the corner of State street and

Freeland avenue. West Hammond, and the white pressed brick front on the main building presents an imposing ap

pearance.

"Prosit." The Hammond Brewing Co. "Our kindest regards." The public

of the Calumet region.

Amid the strains of popular music

by Earnle Young's band, the tinkling

of glasses, and the flavor of hot and cold meat sandwiches, the Hammond

Brewing Co. yesterday entertained the

general public, to see for the first time how the amber fluid beevrage is made on home ground. All Rady for "Prosit." Employes of the brewing company dressed in white were on every hand to welcome the visitor and show him

from the deep lager cellar to the hop

room and down again through the bot

tling plant, where they fin them as fast as a man can take them away,

back to the starting point, the faucet

in the wall.

Hundreds of people from the sur

rounding cities availed themselves of

the opportunity to see how beer is act

ually made.

Beginning on the first floor the vis

itors were taken through the spacious engine room, where power is generated

and where the two ice plants, one hav

ing a capacity of thirty-five tons and the other of - twenty-five tons a. day

were at work.

How It Is Made.

They were next taken to the third

floor of the main building where the barley, grit and hops are stored, and

the process of mixing was explained to

them here. They were shown how 3,-

400 pounds of barley, 2,300 pounds of

brewers' rice (called grit) and 1

pounds of hops are mixed for each

day's brew. From here the grains and

hops went to the second floor to the

grinding and mixing vats and then into

the huge brewing kettles, where the whole was boiled at a 212 degree tem

perature for seven hours.

Thd brew is then sent through the

coolers which are at a 45 degree tern

perature into the fermenting celler,

where it remains in big vats for seven

days. From here the beer goes into

the standard cellar, where It "lagers"

for four weeks before going into the chip barrel cellar, where it is kept before it is barreled ready for consumption. Altogether the process takes two months for the barrel beer, while the bottled goods go through a process

requiring an additional month. Bottling l'lant Independent. The bottling plant operates independently from the main brewery, and is the most interesting to the layman, because of the perfection with which the liquid is mechanically bottled. It is almost a paradox that the business which in some sections of the country is not tolerated should nevertheless be the leader for perfection in the way of cleanliness. In the bottling worts, the sterlizer is the main feature. The empties as they are returned are first put through a thorough process of cleaning in hot water. A continual stream of boiling water plays onto the bottles, which finally goes through a second process of drenching. The bot

tles are next tested for flow and are then ready to be placed in the filler. This machine fills them as fast as a man can supply them and take them away, and they are next sent to the corking machine. This machine, too, arrests attention for its mechanical perfection. As soon as a dozen bottles are crated they are shoved into the pasteurizer, where they remain for an hour under three different degrees of temperature. Emerging from this they

Five more weeks is the estimate of time that Thomas Ricketts, the con

tractor for the $30,000 four-story Heintz

building, places on the job which is now

well under way.

By the beginning of next week the

roofers can begin work, and in the

meantime the contractors who have the

nstalling of the freight elevator will

also be at work.

Contractor Ricketts last Wednesday

congratulated himself for having brought the work thus far either with

out any mishap to his men or any delay

In the work.

Upon completion the new Ilelntz

building will be an asset for the prop

erty values north of the railroad

tracks. It will form a new landmark and set a nevs, standard for business blocks in Hammond.

rage and Barn Combined this Fall.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 16. The filing of the copy of the mortgage for 40,000,000 In Indiana brought to light the

fact that several weeks ago the C. & O. had th title to property in the neighborhood of Fourth and Smith streets transferred to it. This property was tought about three years ago by persons who believed that the proposed Union depot would be located in that part of the city.

Plan an Of Hoe Building. Efforts were made to get a statement from President George W. Stev

ens, who was in Chicago arter making an inspection trip over the C. & O.

railroad of Indiana regarding what would be done with this newly acquired property, but he could not be located. While men connected with the C. & O. railroad would not admit it, it was

learned that it is the intention of the company to erect an office building on the site. It is not known whether or not this building will be devoted exclusively to offices of the C. & O. railroad of Indiana, but it is supposed that the ultimate intention is to move some of the offices of the C & O. railroad from Richmond, Va.

President Stevens is expected to arrive in the city on his way to his head

quarters in Richmond, Va. It is known Cincinnati improvements are included in the plans for spending the money raised by the mortgage.

Ga-

Among the fall building plans for Hammond is a big barn, the biggest of its kind in the city, which the Ahlborn Construction company proposes to build on its property at Russell street and the Erie tracks. The structure is to cost $10,000 and will be two stories in heigth. The in

terior arrangement is for the housing

of steam rollers and grading implements on the first floor, while the second floor will be planned to accommodate no less than flity head of horses and mules. The growth of the business of the Ahlborn Construction company, which is about the second largest in the state, demands this improvement Immediately, and it is Mr. Ahlborn's aim to begin building as soon as possible.

THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR TO BUY IT. RF U THE TIME ADS" AND SEE.

WINDOW DISPLAYS.

It is fully worth one's while to pass along the business thoroughfares any of these evenings and inspect the window displays in the different stores, particularly those dealing in wearing apparel for both sexes and or all agoa. The dry goods stores are showing

some of the classiest lines of goods ever exhibited In this city, while the clothing establishments have on display everything tasty good dressers could desire in the way of attractive attire. These window displays are cleverly arranged by artists who" know their business, know what Is most pleasing to the eye of the prospective investor seeking the garb of gentility. The lines of goods are the very best offerings the big city markets afford, the styles and designs of the latest pattern, while probably the most attractive features are the prices which are on a par with cities of larger size.
