Unique development of the convention's lighter side was a free, three-day beer party given by Anheuser-Busch on the grounds of its famed brewery on the banks of the Mississippi. More than 100,000 guests were served by 80 bartenders who put out the brew so fast that it had to be supplied from freight cars shunted up on a siding. Host was Adolphus A. Busch Jr., whose aged grandmother Lilly, caught in her native Germany when the War broke out, was callously stripped and searched as a spy at Key West when she finally got back...
Since beer is a cheap, bulky commodity, most breweries depend on a local market. Pfeiffer, which works at top speed to brew 400,000 bbl. a year, is more typical of the industry than Anheuser-Busch, Pabst or Schlitz.

Secondly, beer was advocated before the repeal of Prohibition when 3.2 brew first became legal. The enthusiasm with which undergraduates greeted the harder liquors took away from the attractions of beer. And last of all, beer has failed to catch Harvard's fancy. This may be due to the age restrictions or the cheapness of beer elsewhere, but it has not been...
...highly specialized six-week business, running from August to October. Tomatoes are brought to the factory the day they are picked on the farm, usually no more than 75 miles away. The juice is forced under mechanical pressure through a fine screen to form a smooth liquid. The brew is poured into vats for heating, and if cocktails are to be made, spices are stirred in with paddles. Formulas for mixing, always secret, usually vary in different tomato localities. Midwest tomatoes are inclined to be acidic, eastern tomatoes smoother, blander, California tomatoes sweetest...
