The complaint Of New York bOttlers
that the consumption Of soft drinks has
fallen OF since the prohibition era set
in instead OF increasing. as was hoped
has its echoing counterpart in VIII
mingion among a certain class OF bot
tiers. Those hit hardest are the ones
who. prior 10 July 4. catered to the sa-

Bottlers Of soft drinks, however, whG
held the drug store and soda fountain
trade deny that their business has been
INJURED. One admitted today that busi-
less had not progressed 10 the extent
hoped for. but he placed the blame on
the cool summer THE manager Of an.
other large concern which advertises
extensively said business has increased
10 expectations. but he was the oo'y
one to make an unqualified state
ment.
A local bother who had catered al
most exclusively 30 saloon trade, frank
ly admitted that there had been BIG
falling of in sales.
Our soft drink business has been
cut in half" he said "One reason for
this is that many OF the saloons have
been closed. Another is that there
seems TO have been a falling or Of the
treating habit. Previously when men
went into a saloon, even II they were
teetotalers. they would take a soft
drink. This seems 10 have stopped with

little seltzer now, and even the sale
