It was located in Catawissa Township, Columbia County, north of Centralia. In 1865, Samuel Leidy, then current owner of the Red Tavern, laid out a village which he called <b>Montana</b>. In 1890, a replacement to the original Red Tavern was built by U.F. Fetterman. When a Post Office was established here in 1897, the name of the town was changed to <b>Aristes</b>.<br /><br />Below is a picture of the second Red Tavern in Aristes, taken in 1904.<br /><center><img src="http://coalregionnotebook.googlepages.com/RedTavern-1904.jpg"/ ></center>Coal Regionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15974745656304262172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959890270946962518.post-7860035895676648942008-02-11T05:58:00.000-08:002008-12-16T07:10:23.924-08:00Newspapers of Mount CarmelNEWSPAPERS OF MT. CARMEL. <br /><br />The <b>Mt. Carmel Progress</b> was the pioneer newspaper of the borough, established in December, 1877, by Owen Fowler. It was printed on a Columbia lever press, and was in form a folio an eighth-sheet in size, making its appearance semi-monthly. In March, 1878, the name became <b>Home News</b>, and the paper was published weekly. In 1879 M. K. Watkins became proprietor; he changed the name to <b>Mt. Carmel News</b>, and enlarged the dimensions of the sheet. E. E. White became editor in 1881, when the size was further increased. In the following year the entire outfit of the Gloucester City Tribune was removed from Gloucester, New Jersey, by Mr. Watkins, thus increasing the facilities of the office to an appreciable extent. Mr. White acquired a proprietary interest in 1883, and during the following four years the paper was published by the firm of Watkins & White. In April, 1887, Mr. Watkins retired in favor of R. J. Wilson, and the paper was published by White & Wilson until February 1, 1891, when Professor White disposed of his interest to Mr. Wilson, who has since continued the publication individually. The News is now an eight-column folio, and has been published semi-weekly since August, 1889. It is Republican in politics. <br /><br />The <b>Weekly Item</b>, an advertising medium for gratuitous distribution, was first issued on the 7th of January, 1888, by L. W. Gheen, who was succeeded on the 7th of December, 1889, by Will B. Wilson, the present proprietor. It is a five-column folio, and is published weekly. <br /><br />The Mount Carmel Item, a daily newspaper in that neighboring community, was purchased in 1964. Founded by the late W. Penn Kemble, a contemporary of Mr. Hoover, the paper was combined with the NewsDispatch to form the present News-ltem in 1968. In January 1997, The News-Item was purchased by the Times-Shamrock Corporation of Scranton, Pennsylvania.<br /><br />The <b>Mt. Carmel American</b> made its first appearance on the 30th of August, 1890, as a five-column folio for gratuitous distribution. On the 1st of January, 1891, "Mt. Carmel" was substituted for "Weekly" in the caption, the paper was enlarged to its present size (a seven-column folio), and brought to a subscription basis. Burke & Sterner established the paper, but Sterner withdrew after the issue of the second number; Thomas N. Burke then continued the paper individually until January 1, 1891, when William J. Thomas became associated with him, and the present publishers are Burke & Thomas. The American is independent in politics with Democratic proclivities. <br /><br />The <b>Tri-Weekly American</b>, first issued on the 2d of January, 1891, by Curtis Sterner, suspended three weeks later.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=19269468&BRD=2715&PAG=461&dept_id=638722&rfi=6Coal Regionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15974745656304262172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959890270946962518.post-58129848610769528772008-02-07T09:07:00.000-08:002008-02-26T14:34:12.630-08:00Regional Theaters<center><table style="border: 1px solid ;"><tbody><tr><td align="center"><small>This page is a work in progress and will be updated as more information becomes available.

The inn was opened in 1812 by Richard Yarnall and was strategically located on the <a href="http://coalregionnotebook.blogspot.com/2008/01/centre-turnpike.html">Centre Turnpike</a> (also known as the Reading-Sunbury Road or Old Reading Road) halfway between Pottsville and Danville. During the latter part of 1854 the <a href="http://coalregionnotebook.blogspot.com/2008/01/danville-and-pottsville-rr-northern.html">Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad</a> was completed from Shamokin to Mt. Carmel, which led to the opening and development of a number of collieries in the region. During the same year, the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron Company commenced making extensive openings and improvements upon their valuable coal lands in the vicinity of Mt. Carmel, building breakers for two collieries - the Coal Ridge and Locust Mountain collieries. The township was erected in 1854, formed from part of Coal Township; by 1862 the borough was incorporated within the township.<br /><br />In the past, there were extensive <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracite_coal">anthracite coal</a> mining interests here and in the vicinity. In earlier years, the borough had manufactured miners' caps, cement blocks, cigars, shirts, stockings, etc., and large silk and planing mills, foundry and machine shops, a knitting mill, lumber yards, a packing plant, and wagon works. Currently that area supports light manufacturing in paper and plastics.<br /><ul><li>before 1770 - Area inhabited by Native Americans (possibly Lenape, Iroquois, and/or Saponi)</li><li>1770 - Europeans first settled in the area</li><li>1772 - Northumberland County formed, area that would become Mt.

The full line opened on August 25, 1858 from Black Creek Junction on the Beaver Meadow Railroad west to Quakake Junction on the Catawissa, and was at first operated by the Catawissa.<br /><br />A charter supplement issued on March 21, 1860 allowed an extension to Delano, the headwaters of Mahanoy Creek, and down the creek into Mount Carmel, where it would connect to the Northern Central Railway's <a href="http://coalregionnotebook.blogspot.com/2008/01/danville-and-pottsville-rr-northern.html">Shamokin Valley and Pottsville Railroad</a>, which was built later that year.

The route of the proposed road was described as follows: "Beginning at or near the ferry house on the south side of the Susquehanna, opposite the town of Danville, in the township of Rush in Northumberland county, and extending to the Schuylkill canal at Pottsville." A supplement, which received executive sanction on the 14th of April, 1828, authorized an increase of the capital stock to one million dollars and the construction of branches to Catawissa and Sunbury. A section was partially graded between the Bellmore and Morris Ridge collieries, two miles east of Mt. Carmel, probably as early as 1833.<br /><br />In July, 1834, construction was begun on the section between Sunbury and Shamokin, the grading of which for a distance of twenty miles was completed in the summer of 1835. The formal opening to Stambach's tavern (Paxinos), a point thirteen and one half miles from Sunbury, occurred on Thursday, the 26th of November, 1835; it included the two elegant and commodious passenger cars recently built at Pottsville: the <b>"Shamokin"</b> and <b>"Mahanoy"</b>.<br /><br />In August, 1838, the road was opened to Shamokin. On this occasion the locomotive was first introduced; it was the <b>"North Star"</b>, built by Eastwick & Harrison of Philadelphia. The first passenger train from Shamokin to Sunbury consisted of the "North Star", the "Shamokin", and "Mahanoy" and a few other cars. The road was now regularly opened for traffic and travel between Sunbury and Shamokin. A second engine, the <b>"Mountaineer"</b>, was added shortly afterward.<br /><br />The weight of the engines was disproportionate to the strength of the track, and as a consequence the train was frequently off the track, and the track was frequently off the rail, causing vexatious and expensive delays and ultimately resulting in the substitution of horse-power for the locomotives by 1839. Then the revenue from the road was insufficient to enable the company to meet the interest on its obligations, and after several years of unprofitable operation the property was placed in the hands of a sequestrator for some years. The rolling stock was sold at sheriff's sale. The road was leased to William and Reuben Fagely in 1842, and during the ten years following they used it for the transportation of coal to Sunbury by horsepower. <br /><br />The property of the company, its franchises, appurtenances, etc. were finally sold at sheriff's sale on the 16th of January, 1851. The new purchasers proceeded to reorganize the company and at a meeting held on the fourth Monday of April, 1851, at the Franklin House, Philadelphia, the name was changed to the <b>Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad Company</b>. In 1853 the track between Sunbury and Shamokin was relaid with iron rails made by the Danville Iron Company; six new locomotives, the "David Longenecker", "A. R. Fiske", "Green Ridge", "Carbon Run", "Thomas Baumgardner," and "Lancaster", were procured; and on the 25th of August, 1853, the formal reopening occurred. In the following year the road was extended to Mt. Carmel. <br /><br />But in 1858, the line of the road from Sunbury to its intersection with the <u>Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad</u> having been sold under foreclosure, a second reorganization occurred under the name of the <b>Shamokin Valley and Pottsville Railroad Company</b>, which was invested with all the franchises of the former companies by an act of the legislature approved, March 25, 1858. It is claimed that the first Union troops departing for the Civil War were transported on these tracks. The road was operated by the <u>Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Company</u> and independently until the 27th of February, 1863, when it was leased for nine hundred ninety-nine years to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Central_Railway"><b>Northern Central Railway Company</b></a>.dstonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247164667416430249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959890270946962518.post-35377156391069622402008-01-02T18:07:00.000-08:002008-12-12T23:37:35.839-08:00Centre Turnpike<center><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q-beLghbiRU/R4yo2OZ8HkI/AAAAAAAAAH8/g3oj9_JXadE/s400/tollhousesmall.jpg" /><br /><small>Phillip and Maria Waizenegger operated the toll house along the Centre Turnpike,<br />just past the hamlet of Germantown, west of Ashland.</small></center><br />Centre Turnpike, also known as the Reading-Sunbury Road, was an early United States turnpike located in Pennsylvania. Running from Reading to Sunbury, it was 75 miles in length, and was started in 1808 and completed around 1814 at a cost of USD$208,000. The final toll was collected near Bear Gap in 1855. The general path of the original turnpike is now covered partly by Pennsylvania Route 61 and Pennsylvania Route 54. It was maintained and controlled by the Centre Turnpike Road Company, which was formed in 1805.[1]<br /><br />Historical route description<br /><br />The Centre Turnpike started on Penn Street near Fourth Street in Reading. It roughly followed the path of the Schuylkill River to the community of Molino in Schuylkill County, where it diverged to the northwest toward Pottsville, a distance of 35 miles from the origin. From Pottsville it went to the foot of Broad Mountain where toll gate #6 was located. It then headed northwest to the top of Broad Mountain, and turned west along the north side of the mountain toward the village of Fountain Springs.<br /><br />The turnpike then entered Ashland 48 miles from Reading, a half-mile west of which was located toll gate #7, just past the community of Germantown. It then continued across Locust Mountain (via the current Ashland Road, a.k.a. Snake Road and Logging Road 19018) and entered Mount Carmel. It continued in a northwest course over Red Ridge (current route of PA-54) and up the south side of Big Mountain to Natalie at the top.<br /><br />From here, Centre Turnpike went down the north side of Big Mountain to Bear Gap. Bear Gap was 58 miles from Reading, and also the site of the first toll house in Northumberland county. From Bear Gap, the road ran west (currently Reading Turnpike Road) and crossed Shamokin Creek just east of Paxinos. About one-half mile west of Bear Gap is the point where the Danville Turnpike (the current PA-54 continuing northward), incorporated in 1815, joined the Centre Turnpike.<br /><br />From Paxinos, the turnpike followed the present Pennsylvania Route 61 until it crossed Shamokin creek, just east of Sunbury. From there it followed Highland Avenue, and joined Market Street. It followed Market Street to the square, where the turnpike reached its northern terminus.<br /><br />Tolls<br /><br />In 1822, the rate of tolls (per mile) were: Wagons with narrow wheels and four horses, 3-1/5 cents; Wagons with wide wheels 4 to 4-1/2, 1-3/5 cents; Wagons with wide wheels 4 to 4-1/2 inches and above, free; Pleasure carriages, with two horses, 2-3/5 cents ; Horse and rider, 3/5 of a cent. The turnpike collected an average of $6572.67 in tolls per year in the first eleven years of operation.<br /><br /><nobr><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_q-beLghbiRU/R4ymtOZ8HiI/AAAAAAAAAHs/1wpOAJp98Lg/s320/CentreTurnpikeStock-1809.JPG" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q-beLghbiRU/R4ymteZ8HjI/AAAAAAAAAH0/7-ZZjW6qDxs/s320/CentreTurnpikeStock-1812.JPG" /></nobr><br /><br /><br /><center><table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3" style="border: 1px solid #E0E0E0; background-color: #F8F8F8" align="center"><tr><td style="font-size:65%" align="center"> <table><tr><td>This article uses content from the English <b><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page">Wikipedia</a></b>. <br/>Where appropriate, the content of the <a href="http://coalregionnotebook.blogspot.com/">Coal Region Notebook</a><br/>is available under the <a href="http://coalregionnotebook.blogspot.com/2000/01/gnu-free-documentation-license-v12.html">GNU Free Documentation License</a>.</td><td><img src="http://coalregionnotebook.googlepages.com/gnu-fdl.png"/></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></center>dstonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247164667416430249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959890270946962518.post-240211997531088762007-12-28T07:19:00.000-08:002008-12-12T23:37:36.585-08:00Anthracite Brewing Company ->John P.

Strain. Bring to a boil again and strain. After the mixture cools, add the grain. Before drinking bring to almost the point of boiling.<br /><br />Yes, it is called boilo, but if you boil it, the alcohol will evaporate first and you're an idiot.<br /><br />from: <a href="internetservices.readingeagle.com/editor/archives/2005/11/its_boilo_time.html">internetservices.readingeagle.com/editor/archives/2005/11/its_boilo_time.html</a><br /><br /><hr /><br /><br /> Boilo recipe #1: Crock pot style<br /><br />2 oranges (med-large size)<br />2 lemons<br />1 small box raisins (about 1 1/2 ounces)<br />8 oz honey<br />12 oz whiskey (or more, to taste). Use Four Roses, or Seagrams 7, or something similar. At least 80 proof (40% alcohol).<br />1/2 to 1 teaspoon each of any or all of these spices: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cloves, Caraway seed, Anise seed<br /><br />Make this in a crock pot. It's easier than cooking on the stove and much less likely to overcook or scorch. For the quantities shown here, a small (1.5 quart) crock pot will do.<br /><br />Peel the oranges and lemons. Cut up the fruit and squeeze them into the crock pot. A garlic press works, or you can use some kind of juicer or fruit squeezer if you have one. Put the remaining fruit pulp into the crock pot as well.<br /><br />Add the raisins, honey, and spices. Stir.<br /><br />NOTE: do not add whiskey yet!<br /><br />Start the crock pot and let the mixture cook for about 2-4 hours. Stir occasionally. It's done when the fruit pulp gets "cooked-down".<br /><br />Strain into a pitcher. Mash down the fruit in the strainer to get all the liquid. NOW add the whiskey to the pitcher and stir. If you cook the whiskey, even for a short time, the alcohol will start to evaporate (and who wants that to happen??). Taste, and add more whiskey to your liking.<br /><br />Serve hot in shot glasses, espresso cups, or coffee mugs. After the first round, each individual serving can be heated in the microwave.<br /><br />This recipe makes about 12 ounces of "virgin" boilo. Add 12 ounces of whiskey to this and you get 24 ounces of coal region nectar, enough for 12-18 servings.<br /><br />from: <a href="http://www.coalregion.com/Recipes/boilo.htm">http://www.coalregion.com/Recipes/boilo.htm</a><br /><br /><hr /><br />Boilo - Traditional Yuletide drink of the Coal Region<br /><br /> * 1 bottle whiskey (any relatively cheap, blended whiskey will do<br /> * Several oranges. Quantity depends on how much you wish to make. Use at least 4.<br /> * Same number of lemons<br /> * 2 tablespoons sugar<br /> * 2 cups of honey<br /> * 2 cinnamon sticks<br /><br />Boilo is traditionally made during the Christmas and New Year's holiday. It's great on those cold winter nights. Beware, this can knock you for a loop! Cheers!<br /><br />Peel the oranges and lemons and cut into quarters. Squeeze the fruit into a pot, then throw in the remaining fruit pulp. Add some water (some people use ginger ale). Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the whiskey. Cook everything at a slow simmer, stirring constantly. This will take about 15-20 minutes. If necessary, add orange juice and a bit more water. The color should be a yellow-orange. Don't overcook; the name is misleading. You don't want to boil this. Then slowly stir in the whiskey. Be careful - this can catch fire if splashed on the stove! Keep adding whiskey to taste. It's not uncommon to use the whole bottle. Simmer for just a few more minutes once the whiskey is added.<br /><br />Strain and serve hot in shot glasses (a regular glass may crack). Drink in sips. Individual servings can warmed later in a microwave.<br /><br />Boilo can also be made in a crock pot. This is a bit easier than on the stove, though it takes longer.<br /><br />from: <a href="http://www.callalillie.com/archives/2004/12/boilo.html">http://www.callalillie.com/archives/2004/12/boilo.html</a>dstonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247164667416430249noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959890270946962518.post-67553302605656244542007-01-08T05:00:00.000-08:002008-01-16T17:34:30.843-08:00"Fuhrmann & Schmidt had family flavor" article from the Shamokin News-ItemThe Fuhrmann and Schmidt Brewing Co. was a family business in more ways than one. It was a business that attracted members of different generations of families - and those of the same generation.<br /><br />This held true for Max Schmidt - who co-founded the brewery in 1895 with P.H. Fuhrmann - and his son Frank W. Schmidt, who served as president of the firm for nearly two decades. It also held true for a considerable number of the employees.<br /><br />When Francis "Punch" Zielinskie of Coal Township traces his family tree, quite a few branches have F&S foam on them. His grandfather Frank Omlor was longtime master brewmaster at F&S. His father Alphonse "Ike" Zielinskie worked there from 1933 until the brewery was closed. His uncle Jerome Zielinskie was employed there for many years, as was his father-in-law Sam Kolonoski who started his long employment there in 1934.<br /><br />"There were quite a few brothers who worked there," recalled "Punch" "There were the Appeals, "Nibs" and "Bob," the Gemberlings, the Grow brothers, the Mudrick brothers, the Maerkls," he said, noting the Kasemen family was also associated with the operation.<br /><br />These family ties and the relatively laid-back atmosphere of a "small" brewery led to the other type of family at F&S - a family atmosphere among management and employees. "They were always together, even when they had their union meetings," said Zielinskie. "They got just about everyone at those union meetings." And when you have families, you're sure to have memories and anecdotes.<br /><br />Some are from a general nature. Zielinskie recalls the week of preparations it would take to get ready for the annual clambake his grandfather Frank Omlor would stage for members of the Master Brewmaster Association of the Eastern United States.<br /><br />"Another thing they always did at F&S was try to find the ugliest Christmas tree they could find" said Zielinskie "And I mean they use to get some ugly ones, all the decorations where made at the brewery - bottle caps, coasters, empty cans, labels."<br /><br />Another Christmas tradition involved bartering with another long-gone Shamokin buisness, Martz's Dairy. "They'd make eggnog and trade a case of beer with Martz's for every case of milk or cream they needed for the eggnog."<br /><br />Robert F. Appeal, who worked at F&S for over 35 years, gets a gleam in his eye's when he recalls the craftsmanship of some of his co-workers and the antics of others. There was a skilled cheif mechanic named William "Bizz" Thew "He was all over the brewery recalled Appeal, "You didn't have much down time for anything... He was a mechanical genius."<br /><br />Then there was a cooper (barrel maker) by the name of Andrew Mihalik who lived on Bunker Hill. "He was a real craftsmen," said Appeal. "He would take the barrels apart because they were leaking, He was a real master, He would put them barrels together and there wouldn't be a drop out of them."<br /><br />On the other end of the workmanship scale was a guy known as "Wagon Tongue John" so named because of his habit of putting pipes together -barely- Appeal said anytime steam started to escape from a loosely connected pipe, they could be sure that "Wagon Tongue John" had been involved.<br /><br />He also laughed as he recalled the exaggerations of a boiler room employee with "extensive" work experience. Appeal said this guy would say that he has spent so many years in the boiler room , so many years at another job in the brewery and so on. "Until he got done, he was a 135 years old and had worked there 300 years."<br /><br />Zielinskie recalled the skill of "Dutch" Deitrich, a salesmen, at setting up F&S displays in barrooms throughout the region. Incidentally, the "Dutch" nickname proved to be well earned when he spoke Pennsylvania Dutch to peddle F&S in taprooms in the "valleys"<br /><br />One anecdote may sum up the mixture of hard work and good humor found at F&S Brewery. Frank Olmor was a master brewmaster, but he "He liked his fun" as his grandson recalls. "The fellow who use to put the seals across the barrels of beer used glue, it was thick stuff," said Zielinskie,"And every time one of the workers from the racking room would come by and turn the brush upside down and put it back in the glue."<br /><br />A hand full of glue gets old mighty quickly, so the justifiably upset barrel labeler went to Olmor to vent his rage. The brewmaster called the employees into the office and told them in no uncertain terms he wanted the upside brush work to stop immediately. "My dad said that when every one left my grandfather, went out of the room and put the handle of the brush in the glue," Zielinskie said.<br /><br />Article written by Walter Kozlowski<br />Shamokin News-Item Assistant Editor<br />Wed.

Douty started Eagle Run Brewery. This small ale and porter brewery was located near Weigh Scales between two mountains where Eagle Run furnished the water for the product as well as its name. It has long since disappeared but its memory is recalled by the "Brewery Curve" on Route 61 between Shamokin and Paxinos .<br /><br />Owenership changed hands in December 1871 when Martin Markle acquired the brewery from the Douty family and made extensive improvements . One of the more creative ones was to carve out a large vault in the red shale rock of the mountain near the brewery so the malt beverages could be stored in a "natural refrigerator"<br /><br />The men whose names would be forever associated with local beer , P. H. Fuhrman and Max Schmidt did not come on the scene until 1895.<br /><br />A native of Barvaria Germany, Fuhrmann came to pennsylvania in 1883 and settled in Dubois. The following year he became a sales man for the Charles D. Kaier Brewery in Mohanoy City and later became a partner in that operation after he supervised construction of a new brewery.<br /><br />Schmidt, a native of Prussia Germany came to America in 1877 . He went into the grocery buisness in Philadelphia and later moved to Shenandoah to join his brother in a partnership to run a store there.<br /><br />Schmidt became part of a second, more long lasting partnership in 1896 after his friend Fuhrmann came to Shamokin from Mahanoy City to purchase the Eagle Run Brewery the previous year. It was incorporated as the Fuhrmann & Schmidt Brewing Co. and offices where established in the building at Commerce and Washington streets that served as its main offices for many years, later becoming the V F W.<br /><br />Quite a market soon developed for the Brewery's Fuhrmann & Schmidt Pilsner, which later become just F&S Pilsner. As F&S expanded operations expanded to include distribution and bottling works in Harrisburg, Gettysburg,Williamsport, Carlisle, Mount Carmel, Girardville and Trevorton.<br /><br />Early in the 20th century, the plant firm purchased the hugeplant of the Shamokin Brewing Co. located on Harrison Street in the Fifth Ward and modernized it to keep pace with damand for its product. The old Eagle Run Plant was abandoned as a brewing astablishment in 1915 when it was extensively damaged by fire.<br /><br />Fuhrmann & Schmidt had to look beyond beer with the advent of Prohibition 1918 and the company was equal to the task. The fire damaged Eagle Run facility was rebuilt and plants added in Gasport, N.Y. and Asper to accommodate a food munufacturing enterprise that produced vinegar, bouilon cubes, mayonnaise and maraschino cherries.<br /><br />With the appeal of Prohibition in 1933. F&S was back in the beer buisness with Fuhrmann still as president and Schmidt still as secretary.<br /><br />The Shamokin Brewery continued to grow while other small breweries throughout the region lost there foam and went flat in the next two decades.<br /><br />In fact, in 1946 demand for F&S beer had increased to point where the company inaugurated an ambitious building program. This included enlarging storage facilities, installing a new cellar that contained 13 glass lined tanks to increase storage capacity to 5,941 barrels, an adding an all new electric engineer room and machine shop.<br /><br />The expansion was capped off in 1954 with the completion of the new bottling shop, garage and new offices at a cost of $300,000.<br /><br />Theese changes were reflected in a new package design and advertising program that featured the "Sealed Ageing Process"<br /><br />Frank R. Schmidt succeeded his fathers partner as F&S president and served in that position until his retirement in the 1960's, and he was succeeded by Albert F. Buchler<br /><br />It was not to long after Schmidt's retirement that a tradition of 70 or so years ended when the Henry F Ortlieb Brewing Co. purchased the Fuhrmann & Schmidt Brewing Co.<br /><br />Ortlieb retained the name, kept the F&S Premium, Ale and Porter, and had Buchler continue as president and J. Oliver Schmidt as vice president in charge of sales, but it was no longer a Fuhrmann & Schmidt operation.<br /><br />By the early 19070's ownership has changed hands again. The new owners were James Verrastro, Williamsport and Murray Smith, Scranton. They were at the helm when the brewery limped into "voluntary bankruptcy" in late November, 1974.<br /><br />A group of loyal, longtime employee's had the brewery almost ready to make one last go of it, but a $2 million fire that virtually destroyed the huge Harrison plant November 3, 1975 dashed their hopes. After 120 years the area had run out of beer.<br /><br />Article written by Walter Kozlowski<br />Shamokin News-Item Assistant Editor<br />Wed.

"Ther was no more brewery because it was all burned out," said Appeal. "We were in there fixing what we could fix and we were ready to go the following week" said Appeal, who worked at F&S since1939. "Another fellow and myself had the bottling building all ready to go." In a matter of hours what was ready to go was gone. "Ther was no more brewery because it was all burned out," said Appeal.<br /><br />The Coal Township man started off his long career at F&S a few years before he should have "You had to be 21 years old before you could work in the brewery, but I got in when I was 18," said appeal, whose brother Nesbert worked there and later became a brewmaster. He was able to sidestep that rule by working in the bottling section. "I never did work where they were making beer" said Appeal. He didn't get near beer after work either, "One guy had to stay sober," he joked. "We never even had it in our refrigerator," added his wife Ruth.<br /><br />When Appeal started to work at the brewery the golden age of small breweries was near its peak, F&S was just one of 766 breweries in the United States when it was reopened in 1933 after the repeal of prohibition "All the towns had them," said Appeal "There was one in Mount Carmel, one in Sunbury, one in Mahanoy City."<br /><br />Back in 1939 - when Shamokin was celebrating their borough's 75th anniversary - F&S was employing scores of people. There were 52 men sporting the distinctive leather bow ties of the brewery in a picture of union members taken that year in honor of the occasion.<br /><br />Appeal, the only one of the 52 men still living, was there when F&S embarked upon an ambitious eight year building program in 1946.<br /><br />But by the time the improvements were done in 1954, the handwriting was on the barroom wall that the future of small breweries such as F&S was not bright.<br /><br />Mount Carmel Brewery, which was opened in the same year Fuhrmann and Schmidt purchased the Eagle Run Brewery, 1895, was closed early in the 1950's.<br /><br />An improved highway system, big advertising campaigns by big breweries, and the mass population shifts and decline of hometown ties brewed up by World War II and its aftermath was just some of the factors that made Mount Carmel's Brewery, one of hundreds of brewing casualties.<br /><br />In 1955, Francis "Punch" Zielinski was considering going into the "family" buisness of brewing. He is the grandson of longtime F&S master brewmaster Frank Omlor, son and son-in-law of two longtime brewery employees and nephew of another brewmaster.<br /><br />He sought the advice of his brewmaster grandfather before making a commitment to attend brewmaster school. "He said I was foolish," said Zielinski. "He said the big breweries would eat up the little breweries and there wouldn't be any more little breweries, thats eventually what happened."<br /><br />But the end of F&S was not yet in sight. The brewery kept putting out 100,000 barrels a year of its high quality product - 150,000 or 160,000 in a good year - and retained a good share of the local market.<br /><br />It's production was 160,000 barrels in 1966 the year the Henry F. Ortlieb Brewing Company "ate up" Fuhrmann and Schmidt, not to long after Frank B. Schmidt, had retired after many years as the firms president.<br /><br />By the early 1970's, Ortlieb's had sold F&S to Verrastro and Smith, two entrepreneurs who had made their money in trucking and not in brewing.<br /><br />"The brewery just kept fading away when Ortlieb gave it up," said Appeal "We where doing all right, They had a good buisness, Ther was to much competition and we lucky to 100,000 barrels a year, Some breweries had million's."<br /><br />Then came the voluntary bankruptcy in 1974 and the finishing fire a year later and F&S was destined to become a source of memories to its former employees and their families and a source of collectibles to collectors.<br /><br />A few years before the end, Appeal, bottling superintendent, and Edward Maerkl, the last F&S brewmaster, had a chance to see a "modern" brewery in operation when they attended a trade meeting at a larger operation in the Lehigh Valley.<br /><br />After seeing the high-speed, mechanized method during a tour of the plant, Appeal turned to Maerkl and said, "They break as many bottles as we fill" Such is progress.<br /><br />Article written by Walter Kozlowski<br />Shamokin News-Item Assistant Editor<br />Wed.

This was the modest foundation of the recent finely-equipped plant now conducted by Fuhrmann & Schmidt Brewing Company, which has become widely known for the superiority of its product, a beer which connoisseurs are unanimous in according a distinction of flavor & zest such as is seldom found, a beer endorsed by physicians as especially rich in tonic properties. These results are obtained by absolutely hygienic methods of manufacture, by the exceptional purity of mountain water, by the experience which permits the use only of such ingredients as are guaranteed to be the best procurable and a very important factor-by ample facilities for properly maturing the products.<br /><br />The result is a pure, clear, sparkling, wholesum product, the quality of which cannot be excelled by any brewery in the country; a fact which almost invariably occasions comment among travelers, and those in a position to judge. This applies like-wise to the Porter & Ale brewed by this firm, which gained an enviable reputation way beyond the boundaries of Northumberland County, and class among the finest made on account of their absolute purity and wholesomeness.<br /><br />As to machinery, this brewery has the best equipped apparatus and appliances, not only in the anthracite coal region, but probably in the state. This machinery was installed at an enotmous expense for the purpose of producing the famous "Eagle Run" Beer, Porter, and Ale in an absolute sanitary and hygienic manner. At no stage of the process of brewing or fermentation, in fact, not until the beverages are brought to the lips of the consumer, do they come in contact with either human hands nor the atmosphere, and as all vessels and vats in the brewery are sterilized before getting re-used, every chance for contamination is positively excluded.<br /><br />The storage facilities of Eagle Run Brewery are in keeping with the machinery, and at present allow an output of fully matured beer of 50,000 barrels per annum. There is such a great demand, however, for their products, that the proprietors are compelled to provide additional storage rooms, which now are in course of erection, and after their completion the plant will be large enough to turn out double that amount.<br /><br />In connection with the brewery there is an ice plant of twenty-five tons daily capacity. Following their policy of looking out for the greatest possible purity, the Company installed a system of re-distilling the water used for ice; that is, after generating steam from Eagle Run water, it is condensed and then again generated and condensed, therby killing all possible germs and bacterias, which are removed by a system of charcoal and gravel filtering apparatus.<br /><br />In order to accommodate private families and hotel tables, a large and likewise sanitary bottling establishment has been erected at the corner of Washington and Commerce Streets, and from there the products of Eagle Run Brewery, in nicely put up bottles, find their way into the homes of poor and rich, and on account of their small percentage of alcohol and large amount of nutrition, are welcomed as the ideal combination of temperance drink and stimulant; as the celebrated Professor Liebig truly stated, they are "liquid food."<br /><br />Probably only a few people have a true conception of the enormous amount of capital invested in and the amount of labor employed by a modern establishment of the extent of the Eagle Run Brewery. The brewery property covers several acres of ground and the buildings are from three to four stories high and erected in brick and iron construction. Besides this there are eleven houses for the workmen, and the Company can justly boast of having solved the problem of suitable dwellings for the working class, as every one of their's is light and airy and has all modern conveniences, such as hot and cold water, bathrooms, water closets, and lofty verandas.<br /><br />There are not less than sixty hands directly employed by Eagle Run Brewery, the lowest wages for men being $15.00 a week. This number is at least doubled by indirect employment through their agents, and augmented by a great number of all kinds of mechanics, such as carpenters, painters, saddlers, wheelwrights, blacksmiths, ect.,ect., doing their respective work in the different shops in Shamokin and Coal Township. Over sixty head of horses and mules are required to deliver the goods of the brewery."<br /><br />Shamokin Dispatch article, late 1890s<br /><br />source: http://web.archive.org/web/20041231192400/www.haywired.com/stahkalien/eagleruntxt.htmldstonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247164667416430249noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959890270946962518.post-86644250431136917262006-12-26T18:01:00.000-08:002008-01-02T16:15:59.616-08:00Coal Region Breweries<a href="http://blackdiamond-anthracite.blogspot.com/2007/12/anthracite-brewing-company-john-p.html"><b>Anthracite Brewing Company</b></a>, Mount Carmel, founded in 1897, became the <a href="http://blackdiamond-anthracite.blogspot.com/2007/12/anthracite-brewing-company-john-p.html"><b> Mt.

PREAMBLE<br /><br />The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other<br />functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to<br />assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,<br />with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.<br />Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way<br />to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible<br />for modifications made by others.<br /><br />This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative<br />works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It<br />complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft<br />license designed for free software.<br /><br />We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free<br />software, because free software needs free documentation: a free<br />program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the<br />software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;<br />it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or<br />whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License<br />principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.<br /><br /><br />1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS<br /><br />This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that<br />contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be<br />distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a<br />world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that<br />work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,<br />refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a<br />licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you<br />copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission<br />under copyright law.<br /><br />A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the<br />Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with<br />modifications and/or translated into another language.<br /><br />A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of<br />the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the<br />publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject<br />(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly<br />within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a<br />textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any<br />mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical<br />connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,<br />commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding<br />them.<br /><br />The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles<br />are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice<br />that says that the Document is released under this License. If a<br />section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not<br />allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero<br />Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant<br />Sections then there are none.<br /><br />The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,<br />as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that<br />the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may<br />be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.<br /><br />A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,<br />represented in a format whose specification is available to the<br />general public, that is suitable for revising the document<br />straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of<br />pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available<br />drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or<br />for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input<br />to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file<br />format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart<br />or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.<br />An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount<br />of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".<br /><br />Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain<br />ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML<br />or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple<br />HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of<br />transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats<br />include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by<br />proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or<br />processing tools are not generally available, and the<br />machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word<br />processors for output purposes only.<br /><br />The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,<br />plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material<br />this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in<br />formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means<br />the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,<br />preceding the beginning of the body of the text.<br /><br />A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose<br />title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following<br />text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a<br />specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",<br />"Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"<br />of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a<br />section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.<br /><br />The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which<br />states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty<br />Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this<br />License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other<br />implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has<br />no effect on the meaning of this License.<br /><br /><br />2. VERBATIM COPYING<br /><br />You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either<br />commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the<br />copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies<br />to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other<br />conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use<br />technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further<br />copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept<br />compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough<br />number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.<br /><br />You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and<br />you may publicly display copies.<br /><br /><br />3. COPYING IN QUANTITY<br /><br />If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have<br />printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the<br />Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the<br />copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover<br />Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on<br />the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify<br />you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present<br />the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and<br />visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.<br />Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve<br />the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated<br />as verbatim copying in other respects.<br /><br />If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit<br />legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit<br />reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent<br />pages.<br /><br />If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering<br />more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent<br />copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy<br />a computer-network location from which the general network-using<br />public has access to download using public-standard network protocols<br />a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.<br />If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,<br />when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure<br />that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated<br />location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an<br />Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that<br />edition to the public.<br /><br />It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the<br />Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give<br />them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.<br /><br /><br />4. MODIFICATIONS<br /><br />You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under<br />the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release<br />the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified<br />Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution<br />and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy<br />of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:<br /><br />A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct<br /> from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions<br /> (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section<br /> of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version<br /> if the original publisher of that version gives permission.<br />B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities<br /> responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified<br /> Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the<br /> Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),<br /> unless they release you from this requirement.<br />C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the<br /> Modified Version, as the publisher.<br />D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.<br />E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications<br /> adjacent to the other copyright notices.<br />F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice<br /> giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the<br /> terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.<br />G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections<br /> and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.<br />H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.<br />I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add<br /> to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and<br /> publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If<br /> there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one<br /> stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as<br /> given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified<br /> Version as stated in the previous sentence.<br />J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for<br /> public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise<br /> the network locations given in the Document for previous versions<br /> it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.<br /> You may omit a network location for a work that was published at<br /> least four years before the Document itself, or if the original<br /> publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.<br />K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",<br /> Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all<br /> the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements<br /> and/or dedications given therein.<br />L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,<br /> unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers<br /> or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.<br />M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section<br /> may not be included in the Modified Version.<br />N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements"<br /> or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.<br />O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.<br /><br />If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or<br />appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material<br />copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all<br />of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the<br />list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.<br />These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.<br /><br />You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains<br />nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various<br />parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has<br />been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a<br />standard.<br /><br />You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a<br />passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list<br />of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of<br />Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or<br />through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already<br />includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or<br />by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,<br />you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit<br />permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.<br /><br />The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License<br />give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or<br />imply endorsement of any Modified Version.<br /><br /><br />5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS<br /><br />You may combine the Document with other documents released under this<br />License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified<br />versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the<br />Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and<br />list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its<br />license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.<br /><br />The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and<br />multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single<br />copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but<br />different contents, make the title of each such section unique by<br />adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original<br />author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.<br />Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of<br />Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.<br /><br />In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"<br />in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled<br />"History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",<br />and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections<br />Entitled "Endorsements".<br /><br /><br />6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS<br /><br />You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents<br />released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this<br />License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in<br />the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for<br />verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.<br /><br />You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute<br />it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this<br />License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all<br />other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.<br /><br /><br />7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS<br /><br />A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate<br />and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or<br />distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright<br />resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights<br />of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.<br />When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not<br />apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves<br />derivative works of the Document.<br /><br />If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these<br />copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of<br />the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on<br />covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the<br />electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.<br />Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole<br />aggregate.<br /><br /><br />8. TRANSLATION<br /><br />Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may<br />distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.<br />Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special<br />permission from their copyright holders, but you may include<br />translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the<br />original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a<br />translation of this License, and all the license notices in the<br />Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include<br />the original English version of this License and the original versions<br />of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between<br />the translation and the original version of this License or a notice<br />or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.<br /><br />If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",<br />"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve<br />its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual<br />title.<br /><br /><br />9. TERMINATION<br /><br />You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except<br />as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to<br />copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will<br />automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,<br />parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this<br />License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such<br />parties remain in full compliance.<br /><br /><br />10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE<br /><br />The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions<br />of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new<br />versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may<br />differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See<br />http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.<br /><br />Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.<br />If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this<br />License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of<br />following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or<br />of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the<br />Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version<br />number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not<br />as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.<br /><br /><br />ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents<br /><br />To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of<br />the License in the document and put the following copyright and<br />license notices just after the title page:<br /><br /> Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.<br /> Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document<br /> under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2<br /> or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;<br /> with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.<br /> A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU<br /> Free Documentation License".<br /><br />If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,<br />replace the "with...Texts." line with this:<br /><br /> with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the<br /> Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.<br /><br />If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other<br />combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the<br />situation.<br /><br />If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we<br />recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of<br />free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,<br />to permit their use in free software.dstonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247164667416430249noreply@blogger.com0
