OCONTO BREWING COMPANY _______ Enlarging Its Plant - Jacob Spies and Son Now Sole Owners. Since Jacob Spies and Son came into full possession of the Oconto brewery, improvements have been in progress, and will continue on an extensive scale. A new iron steep tank has been put in, the finest separator extant, and the interior of the building is being overhauled and made more substantial and convenient for increased trade. They have in contemplation another story to the brewery, and addition to the malt house and the enlargement of the dry kiln. One new ice house has just been built and another much larger begun, which will give them three ice houses with a capacity of 800 cords - 100 greater than last year. Jacob Spies, jr., will soon begin the erections of a residence on the premises fronting Superior street, and give his personal attention to the business. Charles Norton is bookkeeper, collector and general solicitor, and Ernst Siebert, brewer. They are preparing to manufacture an article equal to any in the United States, and every retail dealer in Oconto should have it on tap. There is no occasion whatever to send to Green Bay or Milwaukee for beer. Patronize home industry. ________________________________________________________________________ __ _____________________ Oconto County Reporter January 18, 1901 Jacob Spies, Sr., one of Oconto's first settlers died at Iola Wednesday morning.
