THE STAR—SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 191 Getting Full Value Out of Two Million Dollars Magnificent Plant of Seattle Brewing and Malting Company Benefits Entire Pa: cific Northwest in CASH DISTRIBUTION IMMENSE; What would you do with two mil- lion dollars? If you wished to be absolutely sure of handling it successfully you might put ft Into a duplicate of the Reattle Brewing and Malting Com pany’s magnificent plant at George- town One thing is certain, you would find yourself prepared, so far equipment is concerned, to produc a commodity for which there would ways be ample demand to con sume your entire production, at a profit that would fully justify the favestment of such a vast amount in your enterprise. At least, this is the present status | of one of Seattle's largest indus tries, which has reached its present gigantic proportions from a small beginning scarcely twenty-five years athe Seattle Brewing and Malting Company's plant ranks sixth in size and capacity in the United States, ‘The annual output is 600,000 barrels of the famous Rainier Beer, besides other malt products. This vast production is distribu. ted through agencies in every city of any consequence from Los An- geles to Alaska, also in Honolula, Australia and China. More beer from this plant is sold in the state bf California than from all the bi eries in that state combined. Twen- ate the many features of this gigan tie plant, and define their respec tive uses in the production of a |glass of beer as nearly as lany that ever babbh brim Jof the convivial glass would require the major portion of this section. But at least a passing notice must be made ulpment in the way of machinery and meth ods of handling the products in their various stages of manufacture EVERYTHING SCRUPULOUSLY clu | No one need ever be afraid to drink @ glass of Rainter Beer, BR peated sterilization the fluid while going through the different stages, and of the bottles, barrels and kegs into which tt finds its way & finished product, aged from four to six months tn air-tight storage tanks at a temperature below the freezing point, would render the life of @ microbe, should it ever find its way to the Interior of these recep. tacles, so intolerably lonesome that multiptication would be Impossible MACHINERY THE MOST MODERN Practically al! of the machinery in this plant hae been installed since the age of improvement in mechanical devices reached its height in the closing years of the nineteenth century, The ice plant, with a daily output of 300 tons, ev Its Gigantic Operations EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS MADE for the fintshed product, never comes in contact with human hands PRODUCTS POPULAR ON COAST During the past few years the malt products of Eastern brewerles have almost disappeared from the North Pacific Coast. They hay had to give way to the superior products of the Seattle Brewing and Malting Company's magnificent plant, Rainier Beer and Malt Rat nier are household commodith every section of the Pacific Coast and many of the foreign countries. a this magnificent plant, r ing four blocks of ground, compact land clean, every department going like clockwork, full capacity, are tn vested two millions of dollars, By thelr operation are distributed hun. dreds of thousands of dollars aunu ally to the benefit of the farmer, the laborer, the mechanic, and the com- All this because so many people like beer. ‘That this vast amount of capital in rightfully employed in the mane facture of Rainier Beer and other products of this brewery ts attested every day in the year, more forcibly than by words, by the constantly increasing demand for these prod. ucts, When the general demand for beer coases; when the human race derives greater benefit from some other beverage, then the man- OLD RAINIER BREWERY IN 1886, WORTH PROBABLY $2,500 TO $4,000 tyfive carloads every twenty-four hours is the average consumption of Rainier Beer by California alone. Every year 550,000 pounds of hops, 26,000 tons of barley, and 6,000,000 pounds of rice go through the numerous and intricate proc- esses of transformation into beer; $600,000 per year apelis the size of the payroll, the 450 employes being paid higher than the average wages fn any other industry. Annually $600,000 from this in- Gustry finds the pockets of the farm- ers of Washington and Idaho in ex change for hops and barley, almost a similar amount representing the importations from Bohemia and the southern states of this nation, On every one of the 600,000 bar els of beer manufactured a tax of $1 fs paid to the government; $275,- 000 per year goes to Chicago and other Eastern cities for bottles, which should be made in Seattle, as it iy the policy of the Seattle Brewing and Malting Company to use Seattle or Washington-made commodities in every possible way in the operation of their plant and the distribution of their product. PLANT BEING ENLARGED Work has been started on addi tions to the cellars and bottling ea. pacity, representing the expenditure | of more than $100,000, To enumer.

These massive, pulsating, genera- tors of power, whose flywheel weighs twenty tons, and whose steel-linked drivp-belt weighs near ly a ton, represent more money than the enterprising men who began business on this site twenty-five years ago, and who still direct the stupendous institution, ever expect ed to have all at one time in their lives. In an adjoining room is seen still running with a melodious clickety. click, the first engine installed by the old Rainier Brewery. This en gine furnished all the power neces sary to drive the machinery of the entire plant, and is still doing full }duty, running the grindstones and jlight machinery In the machine shop adjacent to the engine room Shining copper vats, dustless compartments for the storage of grain, automatic cleaners for casks jand bottles, machines which with almost human dexterity fill and adorn the bottles with labels, are |but a few interesting points ob- |eerved in the manufacture of Ral |nler Heer, which through all the va ried processes of treatment of the grain and handling the receptacles OF SEATTLE BREWING AND MALTING COMPANY'S PLANT, VAL ufacture of beer may diminish. But in its present form of purity, rank- ing, as ft did, higher than many German beers by test in the Insti tute of Fenmentology at Copenhagen two years ago, Rainter Beer will never be repudiated or its manu- facture and sale be curtailed on moral grounds nor by fanatical re- {form theortes.

Terry has introduced more substantial and economical re forms tp bis office in the past two years, all for the benefit of the tax- paying public, than has ever been done before In the history of the office. These splendid conditions com- bined undoubtedly form a large fac tor for the reason that no other candidate bas filed for this office.

N. T. Jolliffe, the pro- prietor of the Seattle Horse Market at 1205 First av. S., is known all over the Northwest because of his honesty and reliability im horse dealing. When Jolliffe says horse {s good, any horseman in the state will just as soon take the horse as a government bond. Jol liffe’s word is a better guarantee than most sworn-to ones, the horse- men state. The Seattle Horse Mar- ket sells, buys and exchanges horses. The proprietor has been a resident of Seattle for 20 years and more and has been engaged in the horse dealing business since he ar- rived here. He does both a com- mission and a dealer's business, Mr. Jolliffe has became independently wealthy since coming to this city and is now said to be worth $100,- 000, He has a fine home near the niversity of Washington, and is held in the very highest esteem by his fellow business men and neigh- bors, Mr. Jolliffe prides himself upon his integrity, which has been the secret of his success in his busl- ness. Known as one of the best horsemen in the state and at the same time one of the few reliable ones, he has become known all over the coast. He has never dur- ing his 20 years in business had to #0 into court nor bas he been cited to court. “BLOOD MAKES GOOD PAINT” Next in importance to having goods manufactured in one's own |town is to have it made a distribut- |ing point for large manufacturers elsewhere.
