...hurly-burly in the rush for retail, wholesale and importing licenses and quotas. Broken Axles. Under the eyes of a platoon of U. S. revenue agents, a caravan of 100 trucks clattered through the still streets of Philadelphia one night last week, shuttling 50,000 cases of gin across the river to Camden, N. J. Pennsylvania's Governor Pinchot was jamming through his Legislature a $2-a-gallon floor tax on every drop of liquor in his great distilling State. Next night he signed the bill, dis patched troopers to the borders. The 50,000 cases of gin belonging...
...liquor business was the whiskey business. In 1913 the U. S. drank 135,000,000 gal. of rye and Bourbon, 5,000,000 gal. of gin, 1,500,000 gal. of Scotch, a trickle of Irish. Rum, wine, brandy, liqueurs cut no figure. The Prohibition liquor business was an alcohol business and liquor consumption rose to at least 200,000,000 gal. a year. No one knows how much the U.

...hurdle is a $5-a-gallon tariff which will probably be upped to stimulate domestic grain consumption. DCL, like Bacardi, has taken its time about the U. S. market, has kept liquormen with their tongues hanging out over who was to sell Johnny Walker, Haig & Haig, Dewar and Gordon gin. The assignment of only two brands was definitely known so late as last week: Black & White to National Distillers and Johnny Walker to Canada...
...that it was not going into the liquor business, called a directors' meeting for this midweek to vote on a liquor affiliate. Mc-Callum's Perfection, Haig & Haig and Dewar's Scotch were the chief whiskeys in General Foods' eye, and also Gordon's Gin. The last was a cause for much debate and speculation. The importing company that had Gordon's in the old days had come sufficiently to life to give DCL legal pause in assigning this agency afresh. Observers waited to see whether the Gordon prize would fall to the General...
