THE wHIsKEY BARREL
"a IL the Most Expensive Of Barreis--
Other Uses 90 which II IL Put.

~ IL the Most Expensive of BaFrels-
Other Uses 90 which ~ IL Put.
A whIskey barrel OF the highest
grade costs from $3.50 10 t2.75. and Il
Is the most expensive Of all barrels. II
Is made OF heavy. selected. kiln-dried
oak. free from sap-a handsome and
substantial package. Such barrels are
made In great cooperages In the West,
IN the neighborhood Of the distilleries.
and in proximity when possible 10 the
forests from which the materials for
them are taken. Whisky barrels OF
the best grade used 10 cost from 81 70
81. Machinery has been brought more
and more Into use In making them.
with the result that they are now
cheaper than ever before.
These barrels are likely 10 be hlled
With whisky and stored for three
years or more before they are shipped.
When a barrel has found lie way to
this market and into the hands OF the
final distributor and has been emptled.
II Is bought by a dealer In barrelA
There are eoopers and dealers In new
and secondhand barrels who buy al
the barrels that offer. and send out and
gather up barrels. which they buy and
sell In great numbers.
Bought In this manner, the whisky

but Il Is much more likely not again to

In this use Il Is not likely again TO
get as far away from New York a.
the point whence II originally came.
and when Il gets back here and has
been again emptled Il IL sold again 10
the dealer. In the course OF It's use
and travels Il may come TO need re-
pairs. a new staye or two or new hoops.
Il IL put Ia order and sold again.
When Il has ceased to be useful ar

wearing out and becoming cheaper. It
Is sold az a pickle barrel, or for sauer
kraut. and finally Il IL likely TO become
a tar barrel. and after that II IL broken
up and destroyed.
Not counting the time that Il may
spend In storage before ia first ship
ment. the whlskey barrel IL likely 70
last through the various stages Of Ia
existence. rom the time II starts out
until the end. two or three years
though much depends upon the care
taken Of Il; carefully handled. Il may
last ten years or more. The whisky
barrel holds forty-hve gallons.
There's a cheaper whlskey barrel. al.
10 made Of oak. but OF lighter mater.
ials. that costs from $3.50 10 81. which
IL used largely by Eastern distillers
Great numbers OF the heavy barrels are
