ducing value as sunshine and the new Schlitz process enables the company to seal this energy right in the can.
 Ultraviolet ray treatment has perfected for certain food products but never before for malt syrup. Schlitz officials feel that its adap- tation to malt syrup manufacture is notable step forward. They point out that sunshine is one of the greatest stimulants to the health and growth of plants, animals and hu- mans-and through the progress of chemists and research men, this val- ue can now be added to malt syrup.
 Although the new process has just been announced publicly, Schlitz research chemists have been work ing on it for several months. The however, and only a small circle of workers knew that experimental work was in progress.
 After the rsearch department was thoroughly satisfied that malt syrup could be successfully processed with ultraviolet rays, the experiment was carried still further. Vitalized malt syrup was shipped to several select ed markets without any announce ment or publicity of any kind. This plan was adopted to test the effect of the new process on sales. When the results were compiled, 1t was found that sales in the select ed territories had shown a striking
 increase. This indicated to Schlitz officials that irradiated or vitalized
 malt syrup met with popular ap- | prova1 among consumers. Now an l application for patent of the new process has been filed with the Commissioner of Patents, Washing ton, D. c.
 "It is Schlitz tradition to be first in all new developments of- ficials said. "Now we are giving the trade 8 product that is made from the finest grain and then vitalized with summer sunshine. The energy, the health and the vigor which the suns rays contain are sealed in every can of Schlitz malt syrup"
