that we must vary our interests and
way of living instead of having a
definite routine day by day.

And that's just the beer tax revenue this state
itself collects ... to lift the burden of direct tax
ation from your shoulders. Nationwide, beer
contributes over a million dollars a day to the
cost of government. Think what that means in
paying for relief, in public works, in old age
assistance right in your own community.
Then think of the million new jobs that beer
made. And then add to that a 100 million dollar
market for farmers' crops !
How can we keep these benefits ... for you
and for us? Brewers of America realize this
depends on keeping beer retailing as wholesome
as beer itself. They want to help public officials
in every possible way. They cannot enforce laws.
But they can and mil cooperate J
May we send you a booklet telling of their
