State Consumed
301.700 Barrels 01
Beer During 1939
Raleigh?North Carolina consum-1
ed 301,700 barrels of beer and ale
during 1939 as compared with 264.
025 barrels in 1936. There are 31 gal
lons to a barrel.
Despite the 12 per cent increase in
consumption,?North?Carolina??till
lags in consumption as compared
with other states, according to the
Brewers and North Carolina Beer
Distributors Committee The per
capita consumption in this state is
not quite three gallons, while the
nation's per capita consumption &
twelve and a half gallons ? more
than four times the per capita con
sumption in North Carolina.
Although North Carolina is way
down the list on the basis of per
capita consumption, the beer indus
try pays the state and its various po
litical subdivisions almost $1,500,000
annually in taxes and license fees.
If this state consumed as much as
the average for the nation, more than
$6,000,000 would be paid into the
state treasury annually.
The past year also witnessed the
rapid expansion of the beer indus
try's program of active cooperation
with local law enforcement officers
to eliminate anti-social conditions
wherever they may surround the
sale of beer. Edgar H. Bain, of
Goldsboro, state director in charge
of the beer industry's "clean up or
close up" campaign in North Caro
lina, announced that the beer li
censes of 46 dealers have been re
voked as a result of the committee's
drive against undesirable beer out
lets.

N. C. Market Rqxirt
For The P&^t Week
Raleigh, N. C.?Feed markets were
slightly weaker during the past week
and prices continued the downward
trend which began about the mid
dle of January, the y. S. and North
Carolina departments of agriculture
reported in the weekly market news
service review
Wheat feeds were tairly steady as
the result of light mill offerings but
high protein concentrates declined
materially with market supplies
more plentiful The index of w hole
sale feed stuff prices dropped to
120 7 compared with 121.5 last week
and 102 5 in the corresponding week
a year ago.
Statistics for the three months. Oc
tober through December, indicate a
supply of the principal high protein
concentrates to be about 130.000 tons
m-excess of that (or the correspond
ing months last year.
Actual market levels of farmers'
stock Virginia type peanuts in east
ern North Carolina remained prac
tically unchanged this week. Millers,
however, are apparently unwilling
to buy at present prices because of
the weaker market for finished goods
and owners of farmers' stock are not
reducing their asking prices. Also
road conditions are making it diffi
cult to move peanuts. At present oc
casional millers will pay 4 to 4.15
cents for best Jumbos and 3 3-4 to
3.90 cents for best bunch peanuts at
delivery points.
Egg market trends were mixed
during the period. The weakness that
developed early in the week was
later inostly erased and at the close
most markets were firm Eggs con
tinued scarce and the demand good.
At the period's close in Raleigh farm
prices were as follows: for candled
and graded, clean white eggs, U. S.
extras large. 28; extras medium, 25;
U. S. standards large. 27. V S stan

LIFE
INSURANCE
COMPANY of
VIRGINIA
To Our Policyowners and the Public:
Th
, he purpose of a life insurance company is to provide security for policy
owners and their beneficiaries
Some indication of how we have met our responsibilities may be gathered
from a.digest of the company's operations in 1939.
Admitted assets wefe increased by $-1,663,325.92 to $105,334,172.49.
Insurance in force reached the all time high of $528,053,461, increase
for the yeajLbeing. $27^12481?
Such figures manifest, on the part of the public, a growing friendship for
the company and an increasing confidence in its management
, Certain old policy contracts were further liberalized Nearly 10,000 owners
of weekly premium policies who attained age 75 had their policies paid up.
This was made possible by the company's gratuitous action in setting aside a
reserve fund of $300,000, thereby dispensing with payment of further premiums,
and making applicable to old policies, as has frequently been done in the past,
benefits beyond those promised
Through their investment in bonds of the government, municipalities,
utilities, and railroads, and securities of other sound enterprises, premiums
paid to the company have become actively employed in the national economy,
to the benefit of citizens throughout the Union
In the administration of its affairs the company gives full-time employment
to over 2,000 individuals whose earnings continually flow through the channels
of trade in their various communities.
Bradioad H. Walma, President.
