Odd, isn’t it—the way everybody notices
the sore thumb?
I t’s the same way with the retailing of
beer. Everybody knows about the one
undesirable place...everybody seems to
forget about the thousands of worth
while retailers who opierate clean, decent,
law-abiding establishments.
To protect the good name of beer, we
of the beer industry want the few...
but noticeable...“black sheep” retailers
eliminated.
That’s not all. Such retailers endanger
an industry that brings important eco
nomic benefits to the community. Right

here in Oregon beer provides employ
ment for 13,238 persons, supports an
annual payroll of $11,541,550 and con
tributed $617,020.86 last year in state
taxes.
This state, too, has an important stake
in the beer industry’s purchases—for
materials, equipment, and services—
from more than 100 other industries.
You can help us protect these benefits
in two ways—by (1) patronizirg only
the law-abiding places where beer is sold
and (2) by reporting any irregularities
you may observe to the duly constituted
authorities.
