RAPID FORTUNE
Southern Booze Makers Join Ranks
of Millionaires AS Result
of Advance


Kentucky whiskey have produced
number of millionaires. The story
of its accomplishment forms an in
teresting chapter in present day
history.
Eight months ago distillers were
gloomy over the prospect of ruin
as the result of the enforced closing
of their plants for a period of two
years and the aggressive advance
of the prohibition movement. To-
day, through whiskey price advance
ment, according il statements made
in the Louisville wholesale liquor
district, practically all have become
we'll to do, or have been thrust into
the millionaire class. About twenty
men in Louisville alone are said to
nave ueSohe wealthy DIS Lie ISSuiI
of an advance of approximately
$3.50 per gallon, in whiskey prices
since September /, last year.
One man, long identified with the
whiskey business, said that whiskey
owners and dealers who have held
supplies have made money so fast
that they hardly know what to do
with it. One of them, he said, has
made arrangements to provide an
nuities for certain of his older en-
ployes.
Retailers say the consumer must
settle the bill and that over-the- bar
customers are not only paying more
in cash in many cities, but are get
ing less for their money.
One Louisville plant had 10000
barrels when prices began soaring.
If the owners have retained it they
will realize a profit of about $685.
900. Another distiller is reported
to have $4,000 barrels, which at
present prices would yield him S.
$500. Still another. it is said
had $4,000 barrels now worth ST.
937, 800 Five others are reported
to have holdings which would net
them S2,35O,O00 each, or a total
profit of 100000. One dealer
is said to have cleared S2,5OO,OOC
alone
Many small dealers who held from
100 to 200 barrels have cleaned ur
from $4,000 to $4,000 each. The
indicated holdings of the men anc
firms aggregate approximately 800,
900 barrels of whiskey of forty
seven gallons each, or 100000
gallons, on which, it is currently re
ported they have realized S35,25O,
900. Many are holding their stool
for even higher prices.
The report of the internal revenu,
department shows there were i,
bond in the United States on Jul,
81, 1917, 191,673,0OO gallons o
whiskey. Of this total there wa
in Kentucky 108,321,723 gallons
March l, of this year, there wa
in bond in the United States 17S,
100000 gallons, and in Kentuck,
at that time there were 9S,492,O ZOO
thus showing a withdrawal in tn
country during that period of Is
$4,000 gallons, and a decrease il
Kentucky of 1O,829,723 gallons.
When the law closing distillerie
became effective it was estimate,
there was supply which woul'
last for two years or more, but tn
withdrawal rate which began thi
spring. it is estimated it will no
last more than a year. Durin
March there was taken from bon
more than 100000 gallons.
Last September the price o
whiskey in bond ranged from so t
60 cents a gallon. Later in the fa
it rose to 81. At this record pric
one distiller sold approximately u
900 barrels. Now the price stand
at $3.05 per gallon.

1t may be worthy of mention to

tended to him to come back to the
capitol in the near future for the pur-
pose of organizing the U. B. f. in that
city. Not only Kansas City but the
entire Jurisdiction is proud of the
splendid record being made by our
Grand Master who has demonstrated
a peculiar fitness and ability for the
very eXacting position he holds in
this organization.
During his two and half years as
Grand Master the organization has
witnessed a wonderful growth ramify'
ing every section of our common
wealth, its finances have been placed
upon stable basis and to be U. B. F
now in Missouri is an honor which
every thoughtful citizen is proud to
enjoy.
