the industry more time to prepare

The code becomes effective the
second Monday after presidential

TRICKS IN TRADE Barred
High Collar, ChiSeIing on
Brands Bars in Way of
Keq Brew Favor.
This is the last Of a series of stories
on the price Of beer in Indianapolis.
BY ARCH STEINEL
Times STAFF Writer

Indianapolis and vicinity buy
more bottled beer than keg brew.
The city's lager lovers purchased
64968 gallons OF bottled beer to
64,193 gallons Of keg beer from Aug.
Is to Sept. l.
The price of the keg beer, high
collars on mugs, a few chiseling
purveyors who give from one TO
two ounces less beer than reputable
dealers for a 1O-cent stein, is de-
clared by one beer distributor to
be the reason the city and vicinity
have not taken to keg beer.
Why should We buy ten or
twelve-ounce stein Of beer and get
all the way from one to two ounces
of collar on our beer when we can
get full measure i'll a bottle OF
beer?" ask the drinkers OF bottled
brew.
Keg Leads Elsewhere
Statistics of the state excise de-
partment show that where other
sections of the state sell key beer
at a ratio ranging one gallon OF
bottled beer sold to fifteen gallons
of key beer to other ratios OF 10 to /,
4 to and to l, that indianapolis
and vicinity practically is even
Stephen in the sales OF bottled ana
keg beer
For instance, the Calumet Brewer
les. East Chicago, Ind, importers,
sold 10000 gallons of keg brew to
5000 gallons of bottled beer.
That rural sections drink the keg
beer in preference to bottled beer is
shown in the statement of another
importer. Handy Beverage Company
Shelbyville. with 1874 gallons OF
bottled beer sold to 1880 gallons OF
key brew in a two weeks period.
Pay on s5,S49 Gallons
The Indiana Breweries. makers OF
Indianapolis lager, in their state
ment to the state excise department
show that they paid taxes or 35,349
gallons of bottled beer and $3.50
gallons of keg beer during the period
of Aug. 16 to Sept. l.
The two importers of Indianapolis,
the HooSier Brewery and State
Brewery, divide the handling Of
bottled and keg brew. The State
Brewery handled 29,619 gallons of
bottled beer to the Hoosier Brew
ery'S bookkeeping work on 81 SAB gal
Ions of key beer during the last two
weeks of August.
Five other brewerieS in the state
produced a ratio of from to l to
6 to l more keg beer than bottled
beer in the last two weeks of August,
while the indianapolis brewery's
output was slightly in favor of bot
tied beer.
Laid to High Price
The continued demand for bottled
beer in indianapolis and vicinity,
despite a forecast that keg beer
would reap a harvest. is laid at the
door of high beer prices for the
draught product.
1t is pointed out that if the city
had more local brewerieS, that a
sitter competition would result in
a probable beer war similar to the
wars in Milwaukee and Chicago,
with the resultant benefit to the
consumer in that with peace
draught beer would be sold at a
lower price to the consumer. and
thereby raise the gross profits of re-
