Ono OF the delegates 10 the convention
of tho New York Brewers Association,
which met in New York last week, when
asked whether II was true that the con-
| sumption OF beer was falling OFF In this
country, said that some people had
rubber stamp for the question which they
used lndustriously whenever company
OF brewers got together. Why the I'M
! preston should prevail, or why people
| should try TO create IT," he said. nobody
| knows, because the reverse In certainly
| the case. The poor man drinks moro
beer now than ever, at the expense OF
stronger drink, and that the people who
used TO indulge in wine are coming over
to beer can be demonstrated In any high
class restaurant where, at late suppers,
pitchers OF beer are as popular as bottles
OF wine The answer to the falling or
question is NO, and I haven't answered
It since we had our last convention"
