...that measure had served the President well as a threat to bring balky employes to quick terms. But with Congress soon out of Washington the Administration felt the need of something stronger than a threat to deal with the strikes which were bound to develop during the summer and autumn. Therefore the President had drafted a substitute measure, general enough to get through Congress quickly, specific enough to be of some real value.

He immediately put his chefs at the Hotel Sherman to mixing tomato juice formulas. College Inn tomato juice cocktail appeared in the autumn of 1928. Prior to that there were at least three tomato juices on the market-two made by Indiana manufacturers, one by Welch. College Inn sold 60,000 cases the first season, chiefly by word of mouth, with little advertising...
