Large machine at Columbia Breweries. Columbia Breweries had added a 20,000 square foot, two story building that housed a new bottle shop and a can beer line earlier in 1949. They added new machinery for their expanded production. The company was founded in 1900 or 1902 depending on which account you read. In 1953 the company changed its name to Heidelberg Brewing Company. The company was purchased by Carling Brewing Company in 1956 and was sold again in 1979 to G. Heileman Brewing Company.
