One New York brewer oflored his note for
the amount, but it was declined, as only cold
cash would be accepted. -
All the Hudson county brewers are in the
pool, and when the few brewers in this
neighborhood yet out are gathered into the
fold it IS estimated that the fund will amount ' 1 ‘.
to over $1, 000, 000.
The agreement is that all existing con-r
trocts or arrangements with customers7 are to
stand, but the practice of offering ice boxes, .
costly signs and other expensive saloon adorn!

to any one customer, more than $20 worth of

10 per cent. off. If a customer changes his
brewer the one he adopts cannot allow him .
more than 5 per cent. off, and for every
