Biggest portion of Nebraska’s great wealth is in
its farms and ranches. Many of the crops, wheat,
com and barley go into the making of another
great American product — light, refreshing beer.
Beer, too, is a part of the free American economy
... a growing economy. Last year, for example,
the brewing industry gave employment to more
than 9,000 Nebraskans and paid more than
$4,000,000.00 in state taxes. Beer means better
living for Nebraskans.
