AUTO REPAIRING Of All Kinds ELECTRIC and ACETELYNE WELDING MACHINE REBUILDING AND REPAIRING OF ALL KINDS Auto Body and Fender Repairing and Painting WRECKS REBUILT Hardwick Welding & Machine Co. D. E. Hardwick, Proprietor Church Street Louisburg, N. C. Isn't this the real problem of Beer ?and almost its only problem? THERE ARE people, of course, who stead fastly and sincerely believe beer to be intox icating, or its use sinful, harmful, or a firrt step toward use of "hard liquor." Just as sincerely we hold that the weight of the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. ..that beer is a mild,, wholesome food beverage... and that "there "is nothing more promising to combat the evil of too much alcohol than the opportunity of drinking good beer." No. . .it is not in beer itself, we believe, that its gravest problem lies, but in those condi tions, undesirable to us all, which sometimes surround its sale. How should that problem be handled . . . by brewers, by retailers, by consumers, and by the public authorities? On its handling, we believe, depends the ultimate success or failure of the art and science of brewing, with all its manifold contributions to human pleasure and happiness and to the farm and industrial welfare of this country. * m * In that belief, a short time, age the Erewers Foundation was erganized ... to align the brewing induStry\ with forces working for the public good in this country. Our underlying motive ... to perpetuate and promote our industry ... is of course obvious. But equally obvious, we hope, is the fact that our interests coincide with the public' interest. Important progress hat been made. Brewer members of the Foundation already represent nearly half the production of beer and ale in the United States; and these members are pledged, individually and collectively, to the Brewers Code, one significant clause of which is as follows: "We pledge our support to the duly con stituted mithmtiea for the elimination of anti-social conditions wherever they may surround the sale of beer to the consumer.'' BAng practical men, we promise no mira cles. We cannot immediately or effectively "police" the quarter-million points where beer is sold (nor, to be Tair, have we legal authority in many cases to do so). Nor can we, immediately, bring about full compliance with the law among all retailers, nor honest enforcement by all authorities. But a beginning has been made... and we do promise that you will see results from it. *. * * How far we can go, and how soon, depends very much on ourselves... but partly also on yuu. Public opinion, once aroused, can operate to bring about honest enforcement of exist ing laws. Restriction of your patronage only to legal, respectable retail outlets can and will operate to raise retailing standards. Public preference for the products of Foun dation members* .will bear witness of your approval both to members and to cooperat ing retailers, and will encourage them to renewed efforts. ? ? * This is, therefore, at once a statement of our objectives and an appeal for your support, without which we must fall short of our high hopes. We urgently invite your full and sympathetic cooperation. UNITED BREWERS INDUSTRIAL FOUNDATION 21 East 40th Street, New York, N.
