Pearl Has Paid 1 0%--
The Annual Bonus
Every employee of the Pearl Brew-
ery received his (or her) usual 10%
of his (or her) annual eamings’s
bonus.
This bonus was equivalent to prac-
tically five weeks and two days salary
checks for each employee. Each year
the Pearl Brewery has presented
bonus to its employes at Christmas
time.
“The management of the Pearl
Brewery feels’’, said B. B. McGimsey,
vice-president and general manager
of the Pearl Brewery of San Antonio,
“That each employee does his or her
work in ratio to his or her salary in
making the Pearl Brewery continu-
ously successful; in aiding in increas-
ing the production, distribution, and
sales of Pearl Beer; therefore, it is
with pleasure we give each employe
a bonus amounting to 10% of his or
her annual earnings. While this check
is equivalent to a little more than five
weekly pay checks for each employe,
we feel the pleasure that will be de-
rived by the employee and his family
from this extra bonus will be the em-
ploye’s reward for his untiring ser-
vices during the year.”
The 1941 sales for Pearl Beer were
the greatest in the Brewery’s more
than half a century history, month
for month.
The spending of these bonuses will
aid in making other firms’ business
prosper so they, too, in ’42, will con-
tinue to say, “Bottle of Pearl, please.”
The Pearl Brewery goes into 1942
with expanded production, advertis-
ing, and sales plans, anticipating a
year even exceeding the present ban-
ner year.

ant things these days. Mrs. Leona
Giese, Deputy County Clerk, stated
