Over 400 million dollars in taxes every

The brewing industry would like to pre

five years. Brewers everywhere realize that
this is a question bound up with the proper
distribution of their mild and wholesome

Obviously, the brewers can enforce no laws.
But they can and will cooperate with
the local law-enforcement authorities. They
will cooperate with every group friend or
