The following lisa copy Of q New
Years telegram wired to all the whole
sale Customers of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing ASSN of St. Louis, Mo.
predictions made in our last years
message are far surpassed by our trade
reports for 1899. We have reached the
highest point of production in our his
tory. Quality recognizes no competitor
and instead OF yielding has made quantity
its commercial ally. We lead in both.
Our motto, Nothing is too good for the
American people," has found prompt
and generous response everywhere and
in return we send with a hearty good
will our wishes for a Happy New Year
to you and all our friends.
"Adolphus Busch, President"
The remarkable business showing of
this concern fully warrants the above,
in-as-much as the fiscal reports of the
Internal Revenue Department show a
decrease of 912. 900 barrels in the con-
sumption OF beer against the preceding
fiscal year, which may, in a measure, be
attributed to the war tax of $1.O0 per
barrel imposed on July /, 1898. The
output of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
Assn, being the largest in the world,
should naturally have shown the great
est loss; yet, their sales for the fiscal
year just ended exceed those of any
previous year in the history of the
Association.
Their sales of bottled beer alone have
increased 80 40 per cent, which is con.
elusive evidence that a good article finds
a good market among an appreciative
public, and that quality merits reward
