No Syndicate Can Buy Out the Anheuser
Busch People.

PRESIDENT BUSCH SAYS "NEYER"
The COmpany's Business Increases Fifty Per
Cent. in Three Years.
For some months past the newspapers up and
down the country have been printing numer-
Gus paragraphs about the buying up OF Ameri-
can breweries by syndicates of Englishmen, and
considerable alarm has been expressed by the
rank and file of the vast army of beer consun-
ers as to the outcome of such transactions. But
a careful investigation of the facts of the case,
made by your correspondent within the last
week or two, indicates that there has been con
siderably more smoke than fire" So far as
the syndicate purchases are concerned, they are
as yet for the most part f little ''seyen by-nineN
concerns that nobody but their immediate own
ers would ever miss if they should some fine
morning be wiped out of existence altogether.
And in at least one much advertised case tat
Syracuse y. " the whole scheme collapsed be-
fore the projectors thereof knew what was com
ing.
Nobody was more surprised than your cor
respondent was when he first read the para
graph telegraphed to some Chicago and New
York papers, and since then repeated by all the
big and lltele newspapers UP and down the coUn-
try, TO the effect that the famous ANHErsER-
BUSCH BREwING COMPANY OF St Louis was 60
ing to sell out 10 al English syndicate Your
correspondent had always looked upon Presi-
dent Busch and his associates as beng of alto
gether different calb.e to what such a transac-
ton would Indicate Besides he reasoned to
himself, these men have built up their business
until it is now the largest and most important of
its kind in the United Statesaud one Of the three
largest in the world. They have built up this
tremendous business by giving the American
public a vastly better and purer beer than any
other American brewers have been able to pro-
duce. OF course some Of the competitors of
the Anheuser-Busch company may dispute this
statement but it is absolutely and unresecyed-
ly correct, neverthe less-and the American peo-
pie know it. Else why did the company brew
the enormous total of 100000 barrels in 1898 for?
And why is it preparing to reach a total OF one
million barrels in 1850?
Besides, the idea of an English syndicate buy
ing this greatest of all American breWerias was
particularly appalling from the fact that Elg-
lishmen know nothing whatever about the brew
ing Of lager beer. They are excellent hands at
con umiag beer and they can beat the world on
producing ale and porJer-"hich are nearly
twice as strong as beer-but when it comes TO
brewing lager beer We will have none Of it. To
lie sure all the newspapers said that President
Busch would be retained as manager But no.
body who has had the honor of meeting with
that gentleman would ever suppose for mo-
meut that such a fate would ever be his. He is
a pretty good natured man butt would be woe
betide the presumptuous mortal who would
dare to make such a proposition to his face.
Your correspondent finds Lowever, that Pres
ideat Busch and his associates never entertained
for a single moment any thought of selling the
business to any syndicate-no matter where it
might hail from. NO" says Mr.. Busch, ",ys

We are content with the work We are engaged
in-that of supplying the American people-and
thousands OF foreign customers as well
the best and plrest bee- that human skill can
produce. That the people appreciate what We
are doing is evident enough from the fact that
our sales have increased more than 50 per cent.

have been doing in the past. That is ali"
