Bemidji Brewing Company (1912)

A. H. Jester, who took charge of the Bemidji Brewing Company July 9, 1912, has effected a number of changes in this institution which will materially increase the output of the plant and enlarge the scope of its labors, having installed new offices, placed a traveling salesman in the field and increased the capacity of the bottling department.

The ability of Mr Jester as a manager of business and men is well known to the trade in this section of Minnesota. J. C. Larson will be the field representative, Edward Curry will continue as bookkeeper, Otto Heink as brewer and Henry Helm as foreman of the bottling department.

The plans of the new management are to branch out both in the country towns and of distributing their product for family use among the homes of this city and other towns.

The product manufactured by this brewery ranks among the highest of any produced in the world. The plant is ideal every detail, the most modern and sanitary machinery having been installed, the highest grades of malt and rye are utilized in the manufacture of their beverages, and the matter of age and purity, so essential to pure beer, are painstakingly observed. The water used in the manufacture of this product comes from its own artesian well, which has been pronounced strictly pure.

World wide publications, printed in the interests of health and sanitation have called attention to the beer manufactured by the Bemidji Brewing company and have recommended their product to users of malt drinks. In fairness to the local institution, citizens of this community should become familiar with the fact that Bemidji has an industry which produces a product that leads the world. (Aug 11, 1912)
