RESEARCH WORK
"The establishment of a research
fellowship at Iowa State College,
Ames, Iowa, where our members can
have their beverages tested and OBJ
tain scientific advice to attain the
highest possible standards Of quail
ity and sanitation"
This was the reply of William D.
Bostelnan, of Chicago, Illinois, a
member of the Executive Board of
the American Bottlers of Carbonated
Beverages, when asked him what he
considered the outstanding accom-
pliShment of this national trade as
sociatiOn.
"While this is only one Of the
many accomplishments of the Ma
tional Association for the Welfare of
our industry" Mr.. Bostelman con-
tinued, sit is outstanding in that it
shows an altruistic spirit which sets
an example for other food products
food product owes it to consumers
TO be certain that he serves them
with nothing that is not of the high
est possible standard, both as to
quality Of ingredients and sanitary
methods of manufacture. This stan
dard cannot be attained by rule Of
thumb methods. 1t requires, as
United States Senator Royal S. Cope
lana of New York, one of the leading
health authorities of this country
who has written high praise of A. B.
=. B. Fellowship, points out, 'scien-
lific care and oversight And that
is just what our members get
through the A. B. C. B. Fellowship.
What Is Accomplished
"Though the establishment of this
research fellowship, A. B. C. B. men,
bers-and I am glad to say that a
large percentage of the bottlers of
this section Of the country are men,
bers of our National Association as
we'll as of their local and state as
sociations with which we cooperate,
have the services Of two of the lead
ing food products experts of this
country, Prof. j. H. Buchanan and
DR.. Max Levine, with whom is asso-
ciated as researth fellow, Mr.. Char
les E. McKelvey, formerly junior
chemist, Bureau Of Chemistry, Unit
ed States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Any A. B. C. B. member who
has any trouble with his product, OF
who has the slightest reason to fear
that it is not up to the high stan
dard Of Quality Purity and Ser
vice. set forth in the A. B. C. B.
Code Of Ethics, sends samples to
these scientists who analyze and
test them and then advise how to
correct faults or to generally i'm
prove the product. Just what SER
vice of this nature means to the
safeguarding of the consumers
health as well as to the general bet
terment of our industry is obvious.
"That the general public is appro-
ciative of the consideration given ia
it's welfare by the modern manufac-
turer- of bottled carbonated bever-
ages, Mr.. Bostelmann also points
out, is shown by the fact that more
than eight billion half-pint bottles
were consumed in the United States
last year and the demand is constant
Iy increasing"
