PEARL BEER A6AIN FIRST IN SALES IN TEXAS
■ &
The 1957 sales of PEARL
Beer were me greatest in the
Brewery’s histpry, setting an all-
time sales repord of any beer,
any year, ever sold in the State
of Texas.
PEARL Beer sales were 943,316
barrels, which is more than 300
million bottles and cans. This
means that over one million
bottles and cans were sold every
business day (taring 1957.
“In 1954, 1966, 1956 and again
last year PEARL Beer was first
in sales among all beers sold in
Texas. The PEARL Brewing
Company established a new rec-
ord in 1957, selling more beer
than has ever been sold by any
other brewery any year in the
history of this great State,” said
Datus E. Proper Executive Vice
President ana General Manager
of the PEARL Brewing Company.
“The increased demand for
PEARL Beer in Texas is due to
its consistent good taste and con-
trolled quality," said Otto A.
Koehler, President and Chairman
of the Board of the PEARL
Brewing Company. He continued,
“For over three generations
PEARL has been making a
Premium Quality Beer sold at
popular price. Our Brewery has
five graduate Brewmasters and
three technical chemists, who
have 24-hour 7-day a week super-
vision of the production, aging
and packaging of PEARL Beer.
Our 1957 sales expansion pro-
gram, going into New Mexico and
parts of Louisiana and Arkansas,
was planned on the basis of our
1956 increase in production faci-
lities to 1,300,000 barrels of fully
aged beer."
Pat O’Brien, Vice President in
charge of Sales, said, "Our 1958
expansion plans in New Mexico,
Louisiana and Arkansas, backed
by extensive merchandising and
advertising, assure us of continu-
ing to keep the PEARL Brewery
the largest in the Great South-
west.”

The historic story of the Alamo
has again intrigued the imagination
of filmland and resulted in selec-
tion of a location for filming “The
Alamo” on J. T. “Happy" Sha-
han’s Kinney County ranch, 50
miles south of Rocksprings. John
Wayne will play the starring role
in the picture.
Mr. Shahan has negotiated for
a long period of time with John
Wayne’s Batjac Productions to
work out all the details for the
requirements to film the picture in
Kinney County. It was necessary
to guarantee Mr. Wayne that 500,-
000 genuine home-made adobe
bricks would be available to build
the setting for the picture.
An organization known as the
Brackettville Enterprises has been
formed by the people of the
Brackettville community to sup-
port the project. This organization
has hopes of future use of the
facilities they arc constructing on
this location.
Activity at the site is already
drawing attention to sightseers.
Certainly, the people of Edwards
County should extend congratula-
tions to their neighbors in Kinney
County for their progressive spirit
and ambition to bring new indus-
try to their county.
(Devil's River News)
At the monthly meeting of the
Sutton County Commissioners
Court recently, salaries of various
county officials were increased sli-
ghtly. Maximum salary increase
was $25 per month and generally
all others increased 10 percent.
The increase amounts to about
$3,000 annually out of the general
fund.
To offset salary increases, tax
evaluations were raised 10 per-
cent, but it is anticipated by Coun-
ty Judge G. A. Wynn that with
increased values, the tax rate will
be reduced from $1.50 to $1.40
This move will bring in approxi-
mately $6,000 in additional funds
into the general fund.
Whereas land has been assessed
at $3.50 it will now be assessed at
$3.85. Other property values will
be increased proportionately.
It is also anticipated that as
oil and gas development progress
it will be possible to return to
the former tax levels.

Post are spending several days
