1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY * AUGUST 9 1881. GIFTS TO SALOON-KEEPERS Some of tbo TIiitiRi the Brewer * Hnvo'to ilb to Gain nhd , Keep Customer * . trtTotk Tlmc . It is said that n Burpmingly largo number of the eligible corner build ings in London nro owned by the brewers and distillers , nnd tlmt there is a very noticeable tendency in NOW York to n similar state of affairs. Moro and more every year the of Now York brewers.and wholesale liquor houses is put into saloons in various ways. The compe tition is so great that they are glad to got a sure hold upon any good stand ) whcro they may , in a certain sense , retail their own goods. A bar-keeper who has saved a few hundred dollars suddenly opens n saloon whoso appointments alone cos 85 , 000. Wonder ia expressed at this in dication of wealth , find it is said , in joke or earnest , that ho has been "knocking down. " Tlio secret often is that his brewer has fitted up the ualoon with its c&stly bar , its lepaiit furniture , itfl commodious ice-box , and its $300 billiard lablo , and stands good for the rent. The apparently prosperous saloon keeper's invented capital is barely enough , to servo as a guarantee that ho won't run away between two days with what ho can carry. The browcr holds chattel mort gages for their full value on what ever ho has put in. The brewer's bcor must bo sold in the saloon. Sometimes the saloon keeper has the help'of several of the men whoso goods ho sells on similar conditions. Ho has an up-hill road to travel , because - cause ho must pay the prices they chooBO to impose upon htm. The moro money ho baa at the outset and the moro ho can accumulate , the moro independent ho is and the bet ter the prices ho can obtain. The brewer or the1 wholesale liquor dealer who has invested several thou sands of dollars'iii Rjj bar , back bar , and other appointments , often finds tha ; the nominal proprietor is n man of unbusinesslike habits and is un successful. If ho is compelled to take the fixtures out of the saloon , there is no reasonable probability that they will fit any other place , amHf ho noils them it will bo at a loss possibly of 00' ' per cent. Ho naturally , in such a case , considers the advantages of buy ing the building outright. This il lustrates the tendency of eligible cor ner property to fall into the .hands of brewers and distillers. In. no other class of stores is BO much money habitually invested in fittings as in first-class drinking saloons. Never theless , it can not bo said as yet that a very disproportionate amount of the corner property in Now York is in possession of brpwersjand distillers. Great complaint ia made by the brewers of Now York and its vicinity on account of'tho ' demands made upon thorn by their customers. If a saloon keeper has an opening in a now place , his brewer or his representative must bo present and open a liberal number 1 of bottles of champagne. If ho does not. the saloon keeper is vexed. "My orowor is a gentleman , " said n saloon keeper yesterday. When I opened here last May there was not n sign of anybody from his cilice , and I thought it was very qucor. Tlio next day ho dropped in on mo , und explained that ho had been up nt throe or four openings thin week , und . bo was too iniich used up to got around. Ho ordered a bottle of Ituao- - , ' 4 shoim , and when ho had finished it ho got up and tossed a 950 notq to the barkmipcr aijd told him to put that in the drawer. " ' To kunp u customer or to gain one n brewer will put a costly ice box | n bin saloon or u billiard table. A chat ' 1 tel mortgage in uuually given , but it 1 \ is often praolioally a nmttiir of farm. If ho dbcB this tognin it new customer MIIIIO of Ilia old cimtomura will ru- proiich him for alighting thi-m. Thcro M no end to the demand for HII-RU gifts. Whuteyur u rjval brewer oilers to do ho must do , if 1m does mil wiinE to lose a customer "T.ilk ot giving billiard tables ? " said u prominent browcr 'last Friday , "why , the other day X dropped into tho'saloon of a well to do man that I know , but who isuot _ n customer of mine. I found him' Bitting comforta bly in nn arm chuir , and I asked him how ho was , " 'Pretty well now,1 ho said. 'I am a llttlu untU-r tlio weather yet , , but I made my brewer end hu carriage around to lake tny wife und mo out riding every uttornoon thin week , and now 1 am getting along very well. ' " Not all the euluon keepers , of course , make such demands as are referred to above. Many of the best of them take pride in , being independent of the men from . .whom they ouy , Ono of the most continuous , drains on the nrowers is for handsome uigiia. When the New York browom visited Chicago to attend the lute broivurs * convention hold thcru , they noticed that the vorj us competing brands'of boor wore advertised' on the 6Utlttdo of the saloons on ordinary CO cunt placards. In Now York nothing lupa costly than u permanent wire swinging - ' ing sign will wtisfy the rtaloon keeper and indeed the browera thonmolvvs do not pf ton in-thii yicinjty complain of the cost of these. Tliofr" consist of n galvanized wire woven in broad mo h- cs , to which.fyi each slda 'is nfh'xod pieces of tin. The browors' name and trade mark are lithograpod by an ingenious device on these pieces pf tin in black and gold They are almost all about t > vofopt and ft Jialf , squarev and although'sach brewer s device is distinctive , yet the signs pri-sent a raiwrkublo similarity in uppowanco. In fuel , there is no class of nigns except the harbors and thoJitUo blue signs of the Western Union Telegraph company that BO un erringly indicate to n casual obaorver the nature of tha ( biuinqaa they arr vortjse. For this reason they arc highly valudd by most tof the saloou < koepora. 'Scjriio saloon koOporn will not'linyo thorn , 'bcaiiuo ' , ' they say , they will not have anything to indicate < lut they "bt'long to" any broiver , The browcrs buy those sii'iis , fifty era a hundred atu ( tjuio. ut u oost of from ' 53 to $5 u itfi'bpili ThciroarojlinoaaB | ; many of thorn-tjwinijdig * * iii 'this city anil in neighboring places as there are BllOOIlg. Ono of the incidental oflbcts of the recent , sjriko pf biowery workmen was tjip.Wribatloij of a permanent as o6iat tion of brewers. A proposal has boon made in that association that the members - bors agree not to give customers cost- jy bigns , liefercnco was not made to wire signs in this case , but rather to costly inside signs that are not so use ful to the brewer as an advertisement , its Uioy nro to Dm , ' saloonkeeper asan oniamcnt to his plncc. Ono brewer kas been giving out to larco custom ers ail elaborate representation Of his brewery on glass , the dolicnto lines being cut in the gloss itself by means of a sand blast. The plato of glass is so largo that the wooden frame that holds it is made half n foot thick to bo in proportion. Another brewer represents his trade mark in a highly artistic manner on n largo plato of gloss cut in the same way. Another ornaments the walls of some of his biggest customers with his portraits. All of the eight brewers in this vicini ty nro. or have been , doing more than they think they ought to do'in this direction. A few of the largest of them declare they have stopped it. Ono of the latest wrinkles in out side signs presented by brewers to their customers is n series of wire signs fencing the awning in front and on each side. The letters nro in golden on black and inclose n chromatic mo- aallion. There are two outside signs nbovo the airningn of saloons in Brooklyn , near thd Fulton Fcrryi which cost $150 each. A Now York brewer has started the fashion of largo curved signs to go around the corner of n corner store. They nro gay with colors. Tlio Iiimo-Klln Club on Grata Speculation culation- Detroit Free I'rcin. The committee on agricultural re sources announced that it had investi gated the query , "Is buying 'futures' in wheat gambling ? " and wore ready to report : "Do committee sot down in do shade of a big wheat elevator an' gin do subjook a car'ful curycomb- in' from all stau' pints. If Givoadam Jones bets Way down Boobo a dollar that a sartain animal up a treeam a coon , an' ' it turns out _ to bo a1 woodchuck - chuck , am * dat gamblin' ' ?
