Much Speculation Aroused Over
Proposed Incorporation of
Beer-Bottling Works by
Camden Promoters
HOTEL TALK REVIVED
BIZ a StaG Correspondent

Pennsgrove, N. j., the powder town"
that recently ousted its lone saloon after
long and bitter fight, may become
slightly damp" again, for much specula
tion was aroused today over the filing
of articles of Incorporation of II beer
bottling works for Pennsgrove.
The papers for the Pennsgrove Bottling
Works, with a capital stock of $25,O0O
were filed today with the Camden County
Clerk. The charter announced as the pur-
pose of the corporation ITO purchase, lease
or acquire land and buildings in the bor-
ough of P3nnsgrove or elsewhere in the
State of New Jersey" for the manufacture
and sale of carbonated beverages, beer
and ale.
Rumor connected this company with the
hotel of Colonel Joseph G. French, whose
retail liquor license, the only one in the
budding town, was withdrawn by the
License Court recently The hotel prop
erty last month was reported sold to
Colonel Horace Wilson, former Mayor of
Wilmington and head of the Wilson Line
of Philadelphia-Wilm steamboats,
and of the Wilmington.Pennsgro ferries.
at price said to be $4,000.
The exact location of the bottling
works has not been announced by the in
corporators, who are Antonio hi Pavlo
Giannin hi Pavlo ana Ceprano Moes,
all of Camden. The decision of the courts
in Withdrawing the retail license would
not affect the manufacture of liquors at
fennsgrove, it was said at the County
Clerks office.
