This extensive business was established in 1887 by Mr. Theo. Schwer, who conducted it till August, 1890, when Mr. Ben. F. Heyl became a partner, the firm being known by the title of "Theo.

The factory is fully equipped with modern appliances and machinery, operated by a twelve horse-power steam engine. The capacity of the factory is BOO cases of beer daily, while seventeen men and three teams are employed. The firm's popular "Our Favorite" beer is brewed specially for them by the famous Anheuser-Busch Company. This beer is a pure, healthful beverage, gently tonic in its action, conducing to the strengthening of the system, creating an appetite, and is highly recommended by leading physicians. It is preferred by thousands to any other beer, and the demand for it is steadily increasing owing to its superiority and uniform excellence.
