TO THE PUBLIC.-I would respectfully state that I have
a fine large stock of Ale and Porter on hand, made as
pure as man can make it. The same has been made
under my own supervision, by the help of my two sons
William and Theodore. We have now bottled, my
superior Clay Ale, which cannot be beat; my fine Porter;
Cream Beer; Brown Stout; Know-Nothing or Shanghai Ale (I
can assure the K-N.'s it is the pure American,) made out
of American barley, yes, Kentucky barley, American
water, and brewed by my son, a Louisville boy I
think, with all my recommendations, after a fair trial,
that I certainly must set the custom from the German
Bottlers, for I am down on them, because they bring
their ale from Germany or some foreign city, and I brew
mine here among you.
