BOttIeParties Are Closely Pursued by
Industrious JunKmen.

In the city of Topeka are about a
dozen dark places where a wagon load
of empties can be CLEANED most any
time, and they are cleaned daily and
sold back to the beer dealers. The bot
tie picker gets 1 cent each for the bot
ties. and the dealer gets a rebate of 2
cents each from his wholesaler.
AT the beginning of the bottle regime.
small boys handled the trade. They
passed through the alleys, gathered
empty Schlitz, Budweiser, Pabst, Lemp,
GOetz, Gettleman, Helm and Blatz bot
ties. 1t was not long before the sup
ply was more than they could carry to
the stores. and then the busy junkmen
squeezed in and cOrnered the trade
With wagons and sacks and sometimes
a helper, the junkers haunt the rem
dezous of the beer drinker, and CLEAN
the leavings.
1t is a common sight to see two or
more "thirsties" with a paper sack of
bottled beer under each arm, vending
their way to some al fresco drinking
resort. and a negro with a gunny sack
treading softly but eagerly at their
heels. As they empty the contents down
their threats, the bottle picker.o4who.
stands at attention nearby, grabs the
bottle when they toss it away, and
shoves it in his sack. Thus the empties
may easily return to the drug store
where they were purchased a few min
utes previously.

his lungs and called out, looking
down upon the crowd.
