RESTAURANT BEER ? .4 merica's Beverage of Modetatiom THIS TWO-FOLD OBLIGATION Rests on T/ie Beer Retailers of North Carolina To his fellow citizens, the beer dealer owes law respecting conduct of a business which they have given him license to operate . . . A business, incidentally, that brought $1,794,821.12 in tax money for the third quarter of 1947 alone, to the counties and municipalities of North Carolina wherein beer is licensed to be sold. (Hereafter, distribution of this tax money will be made annually and local government units will continue to profit generously.) To the beer industry, the beer retailer owes careful guarding of its good reputation. Assisting in the fulfilling of these obligations is this Committee's major work. Our program of Self-Regulation, begun in 1939, has had notable success in weeding out those who treated these obligations lightly. Success, yes ? and it has come largely from sup port given by our North Carolina public, press and law-enforcement agencies. Thank you ? and let's continue our cooperative work !
