INDUSTRYOf the Various Breweries Is of v Vast Importune'- to Louisville.Gives Employment tlt;i Thousands of Meehank's and Skilled Workmen.-Public Spirited anti Progressive Are The People Who Manage Affairs.! HAVE GIVEN LARGELY TO CHARITY\ I Among the many large mauufac-luring interests of Louisville there | are few, if any, who give more ent-$ ployment to workingmen of all J classes than the breweries. The num-iber of men required in the manufacture and handling of their product extends up into the thousands. They t pay well, and the number of work-J ingmen who have grievances against } them is nil. The men get good wages and are not overburdened by v 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 j as the town grew, and the proprietdrsand officers have taken a personal r 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 Christmas 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' Kxchange. 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 are always his foremost consideration.The Louisville brewers have always made a stand for law and order, even though maligned by interests inimical to theirs. The raea at the head of this large branch of Louisville's industry have grown up in the business from boyhood. They are careful financiers, and know full well that the prosperity and advancement s of Louisville will redound to their « gain, as well as that every knock this d city gets hurts their trade. }The breweries that do business In ^ Iyouisville are not confined to any | particular section of the city. Their * plants and agencies are scattered c from the First to the rr-oifth ward. c Among the prominent breweries in i this city are the Frank Fehr Brewing r Company, the Senn and Ackermanu h Brewing Company, the Schaeffer- d Meyer Brewing Company, the Phoenix Brewing Company. George J. and John M. Christ, the George Wlede-man Brewing Company, whose home is at Newport but which has extensive interests in Louisville, the Paul Itelsing Crewing Companv. of New Albany. Ind., which likewise has a big trade in Louisville, and several 1 other corfcerns that opetM1 in and around Louisville and the Falls cities.
