Famous Brews Since 1842

Text reads: "The old time brewer's art has become an exact science since Jacob Roos built ... in 1842 ... the brewery which was destined to bear the name of Iroquois.  With the passing of years, new buildings replaced the old.  The business grew and prospered.  Today ... as in the past ... Iroquois carries on a quality tradition one hundred and one years old in the brewing of the product which bears the proud label of Indian Head."

Smaller text reads: "IROQUOIS TODAY!  Jacob Roos would rub his eyes in amazement if he could return today to Broadway and Pratt Street and see the huge buildings which have replaced his original brewery ... and see, too, the marvelous, modern equipment which produces beer that would be the envy of brewers of bygone days."
