INDUSTRYOf the Various Breweries Is of Vast Importance to Louisville.Gives Employment to Thousands of Mechanics and Skilled Workmen.-Public Spirited and Progressive Are The People Who Manage Affairs.HAVE GIVEN LARGELY TO CHARITYrAmong the many large manufac-; turing interests of Louisville there ; are few, if any, who give more em-► ployment to workingmen of all | classes than the breweries. The num-► ber of men required in the manufac-| ture and handling of their product | extends up into the thousands. They f pay well, and the number of work-• ingmen who have grievances against► them is nil. The men get good* wages and are not overburdened by ! long hours. The employers are kind► and considerate, and the employes | work all the more faithfully when► they are well treated.’ The brewery interests have grown | as the town grew, and the proprietdrs and officers have taken a personal pride in the progress of the city of Louisville. They have been large contributors when called upon by the Commercial Club or Board of Trade to foster any enterprise that would advertise our city. Again they have been quiet and unostentatious in their charity. Neither race nor creed enters into their considerations at Christinas and on other occasions during the year when the orphans, the aged and infirm, and the poor patients in hospitals have to be provided for. A check for a substantial sum goes to these various institutions, and the amount of the check is based on the number of people cared for at the institution.Of course they have united their interests in a kind of union, not a trust, for business reasons, and their charity work is all done from the office of the Brewers’ Exchange. Charles D. Goepper, the Secretary, Is one of the busiest of Louisville’s business men. He was for years a deputy in the office of the County Clerk, and has as large an acquaintance in Louisville and Jefferson county as any of his fellow citizens. Secretary Goepper is active in a number of local social and fraternal organizations as well as in business circles but the interests of the brewers I are always his foremost considera-I tion.
