The name of "Faust" beer is now a household word, and everyone calls for it at the saloons. The untiring energy and business capacity of Mr. Meyer has established the most successful distributing depot of the Anheuser-Busch company in the United States. Mr. Meyer has worked diligently at his business, amid opposition of the strongest kind, but by his indomitable pluck, good management and honest dealings, coupled with the celebrated beverages he represents, he has not only sustained the high reputation of the great brewery, but has increased the business to enormous proportions, and has recently become prominent in a home industry, which is far surpassing the expectations of all the stockholders. It is the P. H. Wolters Brewing Company. They manufacture a beverage which is destined to take the place of every beer in the south. Their special brand is the "Meyer Beer," named after the president. It is called for by all lovers of a good glass of the popular beverage.
   One of the most enterprising features of this brewery is the introduction of the new invention, the crown cork bottles. They are revolution in bottled beer; no more wire fastenings, no no more troublesome corkscrews and hard exertions; they are simple and complete. Any lady can remove the cork without trouble and secure the delicious Meyer beer. This industry is worthy the enterprise of this company of which Mr. George Meyer is the president. They employ about sixty-five men in the establishment.
  The operations of this brewery are conducted on a large scale, and should be seen by the public, who appreciate its magnitude.
