Today I purchased a painting at an estate sale that was signed by Fritz Wagner on the bottom left, on the bottom right is a C with a circle around it, I think it is a copyright symbol, it is about 30"X36", it shows some older men in a library or something and on the bottom of the gold frame that is around it it says "Heineman's Old Style Lager, LaCrosse Wisconsin" and you can see a sign through the window that say's the same thing, can anyone give me any information on this painting?

I think that the painting you bought may be a copy/reproduction of an original by Fritz Wagner which they paid to get permission to use to publicize Heineman's Lager -(alternatively, they could have purchased an original painting for this purpose.)
This artist was born Munich 1896, and died there on 1939. His best known paintings depict Bavarian peasant folk and interior genre scenes.
I shouldn't think that the painting by him at the site I give below is the picture you want, but the subject - matter - of older men sitting around a table drinking - sounds quite similar.
