S. Census of Manufac tures supplies what is probably the most authoritative index of an industry’s place in the national economy. Preliminary reports for 1947, the first business census since 1939, are now being released by the Government. They show that the brewing industry makes a valuable contribution to the na tion’s welfare and economy. The Government report shows that in 1947, the brewing indus try paid out $292,000,000 in both wages and salaries, spent $509,000,000 for materials, sup plies, containers, fuel and contract work, and another $111,000,000 for new plants and equipment— making a total of approximately $912,000,000. - The brewing industry em ployed 82,524 persons—63,668 of them being engaged in production and other related operations. This latter group averaged $3,300 per year per worker—one of the high est wage averages to be found in any American industry. For three centuries beer and ale have contributed to modera tion and temperance in America. The Census report confirms that economically, too, beer’s legal sale and manufacture is an Amer ican asset worth preserving. UNITED STATES BREWERS FOUNDATION INSURANCE BLDG., RALEIGH, N.
