| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The firm made a substantial beginning by erecting a building occupying four lots on Ninth Street. The two proprietors were thoroughly adapted to making a success of the enterprise. While Mr. Lembeck was an exceptionally good business man and an able financier, Mr. Betz had already earned a high reputation for his practical knowledge of the art of ale brewing, which was perfectly natural as he came of a family of brewers which had been famous both in Germany and in this country. It was not surprising that a firm so well equipped for entering the business made an immediate success of it and that its patronage increased steadily from the start. A new brew-house, nearly ninety feet high and fifty feet in depth was erected in 1888, and two years later the firm decided to add the manufacture of lager beer to the brewing of ale and porter. The Lembeck & Betz Eagle Brewing Company was incorporated in May, 1890. It was a co-operative stock company, the property merged into it consisting of the ale and porter plant, which had already expanded so that it covered both sides of Ninth Street, between Grove and Henderson Streers, occupying seventeen city lots, and the malt-house of H. F. Lembeck & Company, at Watkins, New York. The Jersey City plant included the brewery property, store houses, etc., while the malt-house property at Watkins included a malt-house with a capacity of 190,000 bushels per annum and three and a half acres of land with water frontage on Seneca Lake of two hundred and fifty feet, and a large dock. The total value of the two properties was estimated at $900,000. The extensive changes providing for the manufacture of lager beer were made in the plant at Jersey City and the company commenced in the new field with one of the most complete equipments in the Eastern States. The success which had been won in the ale and porter department was more than duplicated in the now world-famous lager beer. The same scientific knowledge and skill which had built up an enormous business in one line applied to the other, and guided by the financial acumen and ability which had built up a million dollar property in a comparatively few years produced equally satisfactory results in the wider field. The Lembeck & Betz Eagle Brewing Company's beer became as popular and as much or more so in demand as their ale and porter had been. The growing demand for the company's products necessitated large additions to the stable and storage accommodations and the output increased until it now approximates fifty thousand barrels of ale and porter and a quarter of a million barrels of lager beer per annum. To meet the demands of a large family trade developed by the growing reputation of the beer for being pure and unadulterated product of malt and hops, it was necessary to have an up-to-date bottling plant installed, and, in this department alone an exceedingly prosperous business is done. The original founders and officers of this important company having all died, the management is now in the hands of Gustav W. and Otto A. Lembeck, the former of whom is the president and treasurer and the latter vice-president and secretary. Their capabilities and assidious attention to affairs have secured a continuity of the splendid success which was the result of the work of the original founders, showing that they equal those two remarkable men both in style and stamina. As proof of this the firm, originally worth 1,000,000, is now rated at 3,000,000 and enjoys the highest financial credit. |
