FALSTAFF BREWING Corp has closed its office at 5050 Oakland Ave., following the financial takeover of the corporation last April by Californian Paul Kalmanovitz. Shortly after Kalmanovitz gained control of the St. Louis-based brewing corporation, the headquarters was transferred to California, a number of executives were either transferred or let go, and a few personnel were moved to the St. Louis brewery on Shenandoah Avenue. On Tuesday, the building itself was closed and Falstaff is seeking a lesee for the furnished property.

Colonel Tenney, who stepped down from the car as his men began the long parade past their Commander-In-Chief, is shown above left, with the President, General Martin and the governor (hidden by General Martin) seated in the tonneau." "9-Day Commemoration of Barracks' History: The drums and cannons are muted, fields where troops trained for war are fallow - a historic place that once served as an Army home for Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Jefferson Davis. The old garrison, carved from the wilderness 150 years ago, is Jefferson Barracks - (cut off) - July 8, 1826, when 1,700 acres of frontier land were ceded to the government by the town of Vide Poche, later to be called Carondelet, for the site of the post."
