Alexander Mil mine of the First Congregational church, Elgin, who gave an outstanding talk of truth and inspiration. He spoke on the importance of manly character and courage and the value of service and high ideals.

The first delivery of "McHenry Lager" was made on March 22 of 1934, and has steadily increased is popularity. Work on improvement at the plant was commenced the previous summer, resulting in a modernized plant with doubled capacity. The plant then pro-- duced about seventy-five barrels of beer per day, the quality of which continues to be comparable with the finest beer the market affords. Today gigantic steel tanks take the place of the old brew kettle and otlier modern methods have replaced the obsolete ones. Good Water Supply The wonderful qualities of the brewing water have much to do with the qualities of the finished product and water continues to be used from the same well which has supplied water at the brewery for two generations. At the present time 120 gallons at water per minute are being delivered from a drilled well 125 feet in depth. ^ The owners of the brewery have long been identified with the brewery industry and use only the finest brew material obtainable in producing a beer of which this community may be proud.
