...Milwaukee brewers supreme in their territory Capt. Pabst had taken over the company and had his name painted over its portals. Capt. Pabst was an epicure, would rather sip good wine than quaff beer. So it was a proud day in the Pabst Corp. when one of their brews won the blue ribbon at the Chicago Fair. So pleased were the Pabsts that they called their leading brew after the Blue Ribbon which they attached to every bottle. When near beer brought lean days a blue strip of paper supplanted the silk ribbon but Pabst stuck to its trademark...
...hoariness or tradition clings to Premier. It was formed soon after Prohibition by Anton Spaeth of Decatur, Ill. who saw that there would be a home-brew market for malt. In order to better his product he hired Messrs. Perlstein & Singer. So able were they that within a few months they were partners in the business and soon controlled it. Premier bought a second plant at Steubenville, Ohio and then a third in the once great whiskey city of Peoria. It concentrated on malt products and thrived while the old-line companies struggled to sell near beer...
...Delafield-sipper you will know that Authoress Delafield's books (The Way Things Are, The Diary of a Provincial Lady, House Party), like so many informally-handed cups of tea, have a lighthearted, everyday, almost always amusing flavor.

Last year it sold 15 million bottles of near-beer. With the new funds it could easily, upon legalization of beer, build its bottling capacity up to five million 24-bottle cases per year...
...among breweries has been high. Of the 1,100 operating in 1918, only 164 are active now. Only 24 of these have a capitalization of over $1,000,000. Most of them have been losing money for a decade and would need several very profitable years before they could brew dividends for shareholders. Colossi in the ruined industry are Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and Pabst Corp. Anheuser-Busch has built up profitable sidelines in yeast, ice-cream, ginger ale, truck bodies, coal. If beer is legalized the company can in two hours start turning out about half of its pre-Prohibition...
