business in all its details, he entered the U. S. Brewers' Academy (the first insti- tntion of its kind in this country, and in 1881 became its first graduate. It being an old German custom for parents to send out their sons, after serving their apprenticeship, to make their own way in the world, Mr. Schmitt's father adopt- ed this course, and the son was, accord- ingly, sent out to earn his own livelihood. After five years of varied experience, during which time he traversed the U. S. from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico-having been in almost every State and territory -he returned home, at the request of his father, to become brew-master in the establishment of Schmitt & Schwanen- fluegel. his father being senior partner. In 1892, Mr. Schmitt became largely in- terested in a brewery in the West Indies where he filled the position of general manager for a number of years. On his return to New York his state of health precluded the resumption of his former position of brew-master, and he there- fore became interested in other ventures -notably the management of his tobacco plantation of 600 acres, in Florida,-and later became proprietor and editor of the Eufaula Sun, a daily and weekly publi- cation, at Eufaula. Ala .; was also active ín local politics. The death of his father, on May 4, 1897, closely followed by the death of his brother, necessitated his re- turn to New York to take care of the former's interests in the business. He became vice-president and brew-master of the concern, in which capacity he is still actively engaged; also affiliated with the Brewers' Board of Trade, the Ameri- can Brewing Institute, the U. S. Brewers' Association, the Union Brewers' Asso- ciation (of which he is treasurer and a director), the Brew-masters' Association, and the Original Brewers' and Coopers' Benevolent Association, succeeding his father as treasurer of this association, serving seven years; is now an honorary member and trustee.
