...Custer's Last Fight, a huge canvas across which hordes of infuriated redskins hurled themselves at General George A. Custer and the last of his 7th Cavalry at Little Big Horn. The man who made the picture famous was a St. Louis brewer named Adolphus Busch,* co-founder of Anheuser-Busch and inventor of Budweiser beer. Reproduced on outdoor posters and hung in countless saloons, Custer's Last Fight became an amazingly successful advertisement. The company filled 1,000,000 requests for copies in 50 years, while Budweiser sales rose steadily...
...today than Custer's Last Fight. Never has there been such whooping, shooting and scalping. Reason: at a time when nearly everything else in the U.S. economy is bubbling and foaming up, beer sales are going down. Thus, every U.S. brewer, from the Big Three national giants-Anheuser-Busch, Schlitz, Pabst-on down to the smallest local brewery is on the warpath, each trying to scalp the others in the fight for sales.

Together, Pabst and Schlitz have spent $35 million for new West Coast breweries to match, the $25 million plant Anheuser-Busch opened last year in Los Angeles. Throughout the industry, every brewery is scrambling to fortify its market against the national giants. No one dares relax...
...Love Your Work." August Anheuser Busch Jr., fourth in a 90-year family line to head the brewery, does not fear this competition; he thrives on it. Trim (5 ft. 10 in., 164 lbs.), greying, hard as an oaken keg at 56, Gussief Busch operates on a simple formula: "Work hard-love your work." Whether at his baronial suburban home or his main brewery sprawling alongside the Mississippi River in South St. Louis, he spends most of his waking hours selling beer. He rarely talks in a normal voice; he sounds more like a hoarse lion...
