In Skillman Street, near Flushing Avenue, East 

 Brooklyn, are two distilleries adjoining each other, 

 one belonging to Charles Wilson, and the other to J. 

 J. Wood & Co. Mr. Wilson's establishment has been 

 in operation about 17 years, and, together with the 

 stables attached, in which are stalls for 800 cows, oc- 

 cupies the whole block from Franklin to Skillman 

 streets. It employs from sixteen to eighteen hands, 

 and consumes 800 bushels of grain per day. A steam 

 engine of 20 horse-power drives the machinery. 



The distillery of Messrs. Wood & Co. is on the 

 same scale as the preceding one ; they consume about 

 100 bushels of grain per day. The buildings are 

 constructed in the most substantial manner, of brick. 

 The whiskey they manufacture is principally used for 

 burning fluid, after undergoing the necessary processes 

 in the establishment. 



At the corner of Jay and Pearl streets a new 

 brewery has been recently established by Mr. John- 

 son, who for the last 31 years has been engaged in the 

 business in this city. Eight men are employed, and 

 a small steam engine is in use for washing the grain.
