Simon F. Gates Milwaukee Lager, Racine, Wisconsin

Size-Pint. Color-Light Green. Glass maker-S.B.& G.Co. Simon Gates had been the Pabst Agent in Racine for years. His wife Caroline continued the tradition by incorporating the operation to form the S.F. Gates & Co. Bottling firm. The corporate move was a great idea, providing much-needed capital to keep the company competitive against larger Milwaukee firms.
