Mineral Water Manufactories.

 The Mineral Water business of Nashville is divided into two distinct departments, viz: the Manufacture of Artificial Mineral Waters as a beverage, and the Bottling of Natural Mineral Waters for medicinal purposes.  We may remark, however, that the Beverage Mineral Waters are claimed by the Manufacturers to contain also many medicinal qualities, and no doubt they do, if their popularity be a test of their excellence.  Passing to the consideration of these establishments, in a more definite account, we come first to
  McCORMACK'S MINERAL WATER MANUFACTORY, which is the sole house of the class in Nashville.  It is located at No. 105 South Cherry street, and has in connection ample premises for the conduct of the business.  Messrs. McCormack & Co. have engaged in this pursuit in Nashville for quite a number of years, and by strict attention and fidelity to it, have raised their products to the prominence of standard beverages in many cities of the South.  Their Liquids embrace superior qualities of Mineral Water, Sarsaparilla, Porter and Ale.  They employ Bernard's improved Silver-lined Generating System and use the best and purest ingredients.  Their Ale is from the best Pittsburg Breweries. This they bottle, and claim that the system gives additional strength to its taste as the Liquid undergoes a second fermentation.  They also have Bottling Machines, whose workings they have reduced down to a point of nicety.  They have two of these Machines, each capable of Bottling 500 dozen Bottles per day.  This establishment gives employment, during the Summer months, to some fifteen or twenty men, but do not run so extensively in Winter, as their Liquids have greater sale in warm weather, and are, for the most part, intended as Summer Beverages.  For families the Bottled Liquors are unexcelled, and many persons use them regularly every year in this City; and to Saloons and Drug Houses, in any portions of the South, Messrs. McCormack & Co. are prepared to furnish them fresh, reliable and cheap, in large or small quantities.
