Thomas W. o'5yrne, the Wholesale Dealer, Handles More MoerIeln
 Than Any Representative Out
 side Plttsburg-eoo Car Loads

A trlte saying always contains an ab- solute truth, and the homely proverb, Nothing succeeds like success Is like an axiom. This truth is strikingly applica- ble to the Moerlein Brewing Company, represented in Birmingham by Thos. w. O'Byrne, wholesale dealer. MT. O'Byrne handles more and more Moerlein beer every year, which leads the observer of business conditions to exclaim Nothing succeeds like successp'
 In an article on this popular beverage. which apeared in the Age-Herald last spring it was stated that 47s car loads of Moerlein were handled through MT. OByrne's office in 1900, and that nearly, 1T not quite 600 car loads. 65 barrels to the car, would probably be handled in 1901. :
 The years business has now advanced far enough to make the prediction for the current twelve months as good as verified. MT. O'Byrne disposed of fBfty-three car loads in May, flfty-five car loads in June and the number this month has already reached nearly sixty. Activity in the beer trade continues through August and the fall. Indeed there is no falling off until January. In addition to handling this great volume of barreled beer, O'Byrne does considerable business in bottled beer-over thirty car loads year.
 Next to Pittsbure.
 It is an interesting fact that Birming ham, with it's adjacent territory, is the largest consumer of Moerleins product, with the single exception of Pittsburg. With a population of over half a million Pittsburg-Greater Pittsburg-consumes about 7o,OOO barrels of Moerlein beer year, as against Birmingham's 10000 bar rels. This is certainly proud record for the "Pittsburg of the South"
 Now every brewer and every beer mer- chant knows that poor malt beverage will not sell. Many people will drink bad whisky. There seems to be certain de- mand for ''rot-gut" liquor, but there is no demand for beer unless it tastes all right. Beer must be moderately good at least to have any friends, and the better it is the more friends it has.
 Moerlein is a delicious beverage. Regular beer drinkers and occasional beer drink CTS, alike smack their lips over it. No beverage satisfies the thirst so well. It is rich; it has body; 1t is nutritious, for it is about as well lagered as the best hof- braus.
 Chemically Pure.
 In these days of food and drink adul- iteration, it affords much satisfaction to know that Moerlein is chemically pure. It contains no foreign substances, but on the other hand is beer, pure and simple; safe and never-failing tonic. There fore it Is the favorite malt drink for the family; in many cases more beneficial than medicine for dehilitated women and children.
 The public generally knows what 1t wants, and the fact that Moerlein Is the leader proves that the public endorses 1t as the best.
 Tom O'Byrne is wonderful hustler, too. He is popular with the trade and with citizens in general. He will doubt less bring his immense business to seven or eight hundred car loads of Moerlein next year. But think of 1t for 1901! Six hundred car loads-40,000 barrels! Truly, Nothing succeeds like success" but just as truly there can be no solid or lasting success without merit. The high merit of this beer combined with the prompt, ener- getic and business like methods of MT. O'Byrne, the wholesale dealer, explains it.
