BEER DISTRIBUTION PLANNED
IN TANKS LINED WITH GLASS
Arrangements Made to Ship Brew Chilled
and at Reduced Costs If Law
IsPassed.

During the Miami hurricane Of 1928
Wisconsin milk was shipped TO relieve
the shortage IN Florida.
There are 300 milk cars. all made by
the Genera, American Tank Corpora
ton. on the principle expected TO be
used for beer. in operation cr American
railroads. The same plan has been
applied 10 tank car which transports
beer taken between London. Ontario,
brewery and Montreal. making the 900
mile round trip every five days.
But RAYMOND J. Pierce. vice presi-
dent Of the corporation, who has Just
completed a slx-Mo1th survey OF the
brewing industry's shipping needs IN
event OF legal beer does not expect an
immediate wide demand for bulk beer
cars.
within q few years OF leealization
of beer we will manufacture 500 cars
for the industry" Pierce said Within
eight years OF that time there will be
only half a dozen brewers competing
for national distribution. After that
we probably will need many more cars.
Shipping Cost Cut Seen.
"st. Louis will compete with New
York brewers for the New York mar
ket. Milwaukee brewers will ship
through st. Louis in competition with
st. Louis brewers for the Southwest
trade. Tank cars viii reduce shipping
costs to ~ cents a gallon between St.
Louis and Jersey City. as compared
with the present rate Of IA cents a
gallon for kegs Of beverages and 1851
cents in cases"
Pierce said the lower cost in tank
cars would bring additional tonnage
20 the railroads BY increasing the
radius Of beer shipments.
