Dreesbach, Philip.

Beer Bottler's Handy Book. Profusely Illustrated, Containing also many Figuring Examples, Tales, Bookkeeping Forms and Steaming Charts.

Chicago: Wahl-Henius Institute, 1906.

Thick octavo, 765 pages + 16 ads. First edition. In addition to compiling this massive how-to on beer bottling in all its aspects, including Pasteurization, bottlery operations, government compliance, using electricity in the process and book and record keeping, the Wahl-Henius Institute offer a two month course in bottling. We've seen no more thorough guide to bottling published in the US. Rear hinge repaired. A bit of soiling or rubbing to a few pages, and some edge wear to the publisher's dark green boards. Near very good. Very scarce. [Worldcat locates 15 copies].
