The Government s conservation program makes
it necessary to suspend the beverage business Of
the Anheuser-Busch plants. We consider it a
privilege to cooperate with the Government in
making its war program effective, and to comply
with every request and suggestion of the Govern
ment to the end that German armies may be more
quickly defeated and German autocracy over
~thrown-to the end that an enduring peace may
be established that will insure justice and protec-
ton to all nations and all peoples and make future
wars impossible.
We stand squarely behind the Government in the
prosecution Of the wor 10 a u%ictorious conclusion.
We regard the sacrifices uc are making, amounting
to many millions Of dollars, cs Insignificant and in
consequential ,yhcn ve think Of the benefits that wu
accrue to The uorld under the terms of the unselfih
and atruist;c wn aims of the United States as
defined BY our President.
The Anheuscr-Busc Brewing Association is pre-
e%minenty the forcmo2. end largest Institution Of its
character in The ,oorl4. 1t hes plants copering more
than Is city blocks in St. Louis, and branch houses
in mcny other cities and foreign countries. The busi-
ness of Anheuser-Busch ,ycs loorld-wide. Its highly
cJJIttW tIeCUttUe ana SGtCS organisation, as jar as
wm conditions wiu permit, uiI be retained intact;
and after the ,sn for Democracy shall haze been
won, we shall be engaged again in useful industry.
The Anheuser-Busch plants are equivalent to a
city in themselves. They represent an invested
capital Of $60,000,0 900. There are many modern
manufacturing units in the group Of plants-one,
the new Bevo bottling and shipping plant, with
equipment, costing approximately $4,000, 900,
and being the best industrial plant of any char
acter in the world.
Anheuser-Busch pays annually more than
$3,000,0 900 in Federal, State and Municipalities
Anheuser-Busch employs at good wages from
5000 to $500 persons.
Anheuser-Busch industries support nearly a
score Of other useful industries Of considerable
magnitude.
During the period that Anheuser-B Busch is out
Of active business, we shall take all necessary steps
to protect the good name Of this institution, which
always has stood for 100 per cent integrity and
100 per cent efficiency. In the excitement Of war
false reports and statements are circulated with
reckless disregard for truth. Anheuser-Busch has

United States and widely advertised in news.
papers, and sold with the full knowledge of the !
Government. Many financial institutions, and
The bonds were sold by the same institutions
that sold French, English, Italian and other war
bonds. They were sold at 81 cents on the dollar,
and recommended by financiers as good invest:
ments, paying a return Of nearly J per cent.
Some professional a~gitators have undertaken to
make it appear that Mr.. Busch bought the German
bonds to aid Germany in making war on the
United States. When these bonds were sold it
was publicly announced that the funds were to be
used to establish commercial credits for Germany
in this country-credits such as the allied countries
enjoyed through the sale Of their bonds.
The fact that This transaction was in October,
1915, and that the United States did not declare
uor or Germany until April, 1917, should set.d
rest the ridiculous charges circulated principally by
paid a~gitators refectng on the loyalty Of Anheuser-
Busch.
AAnheuser-Busch was founded upon the solid
rock Of Americanism and grew to be a great insti-
tuition under the protection of American democ-
racy. The late Adolphus Busch, for many years
its president, laid the foundations of the character
of Anheuser-Busch so broad and deep that this
institution always has represented in the industrial
world vastly more than a beverage industry. The
name Of Anheuser-Busch has been associated with,
and will continue to be associated with, great
industries in various fields of manufacture,
finance, railroading, mining, hotel building and
operation, etc.
The intensely loyal organization, created by
Adolphus Busch, and strengthened under succeed
ing management, always will be found fighting to
uphold American ideals Of government and
American principles Of fair play.
Anheuser-Busch is ready to sacrifice everything
except loyalty to country, and its own honor. to
serue the Government in bringing this wn to a uic'
torious conclusion.
We wish to express our gratitude to our dealers
and the thousands Of loyal friends whose cooper.
alton and support have been an invaluable asset
to this institution. We assure them that after the
war Anheuser- Busch again will take its place
among the important and indispensable industrial
institutions of America.

been the victim, unfortunately, of many such false
reports.
In this connection we consider it opportune to
so clearly define the attitude Of this institution and
its officers that there can be no further excuse tor
Misrepresentation.
As an American institution, founded BY Ameri-
cans more than go years ago, and continuously
owned and operated by Americans, Anheusr-Busch
has Enthusiastically expressed its Americanism by sub
scribing to more than So, 900, 900 of Liberty Bonds
and the contribution of $500, 900 to the american
Red Cross and other war relief organizations Of the
United States and the allied cause.
Euery employee of Anheuser-Busch-more than
5000 in number-is a subscriber to Liberty Bonds
and a contributor to the Red Cross and other wm
charities.
As a further contribution toward thinning the war,
August 4. Busch, president Of Anheuser-Busch,
upon Americas entry into the conflict, voluntarily
cancelled Mcommercial contr actso fMe Busch-Sulzer
Bros. Diesel Engine Co., of whch he is president,
and since that time the entire facilities of this
So $500, 900 plant haze been exclusively devoted To-
the manufacture of engines for the submarines OF the
United States Navy. The engines manufactured BY
this plant are conceded to be the finest and most
perfect made anywhere in the world.
MIR. Busch also has arranged to lease to the
Government for the period Of the war one-third
Of the 70 acres Of floor space Of the new S 100000
900 Bevo plant.
The manufacturing facilities of the $50, 0 900
Anheuser-Busch plant, in part or entirety, have
been rendered to the United States until the end
Of the war.
Over-enthusiastic agitators and envious COM
pettors have attempted to prejudice the public
against Anheuser-Busch on account of the pur-
chase in October, l9l5-when this country was
neutral-of some German Government bonds by
August A. Busch and for the account Of his
mother, Mrs. Adolphus Busch.
The truth is that these bonds were purchased
Is months before the United States declared war
on Germany, and at a time when there was no
thought that this country would become involved
in the war.
The German bonds were sold by the principal
banks. trust companies and bond houses Of the

Houneing, etc, also through your col
umns we wish to thank all those far
and near who assisted in making the
day decided success in every fea-

We did not appreciate the promise
of Mr.. Talmadge, manager of the Tai
madge orchestra, who promised twice
70 present the music of three pieces for
the dance and did not appear in the
least at the time for his appearance.
He sent instead two girls to play
for an all night dance, for a crowd that
was credit to so small place as
Lyons. We praise the girls, Miss Siege
and Miss Swarts for their steady work
and thank them in behalf of the joint
auxiliary as competent musicians.
