Built to Meet Demand for Popular
Temperance Drink.

The completion of the new ss.000,-
900 Beyo plant in ST. Louis is q
wartime Industrial achieve
ment- The construction Of this
plant, the largest and most perfect
ly equipped of its kind In the world,
was made necessary BY the ex-
traordinary demand for the highly
meritorious non-aleohoiic beverage
perfected under the personal super
vision Of August. A. Busch, presl-
dent Of .Anheuser-Buseh, who sue
ceeded his father. the late Adolphus
Busch. as head Of the many great
Industrial institu-
tions.
After years of scientific expert
ments and original research, Bevo
was created for two purposes: AS
an aid to the. promotion of Mr..
Busch's plans for a real, sane tenn
persnee program In America, based
upon education and intelligent
moral development: and TO supply
the public with the highest quality
of non-a1cohoIic beverage that
science and manufacturing skill
could produce. Bevo has been a
positive aid to the government in
carrying out its military temper
ance program. for it has become the
favorite beverage of the army and
navy. and Is used extensively on
battleships and in cantonments with
the approval OF the heads of the
Navy and War Departments.
The Buseh-Sulzer Bros. Diesel
Engine Company OF 50. Louis. of
which Mr. Busch is the principal
owner and president, has been en-
gagged continuously and exclusively
since America entered the war in
building engines of the finest and
most perfect type for American sub
marines. airplanes and the United

hind their promises in the delivery
of guns to the army. In some cases

this cause was done away with by
the new mana cement. which Is put

specifications. Some delays were
caused In the winter by fuel troubles
and labor troubles or labor shortage
