Forty-first Annual Meeting 45 



be of interest to all of you gentlemen. If 2 o'clock would 

 be convenient tomorrow we could run out from here and not 

 interfere with any plans you may have after that in the way 

 of entertainment. I understand you are going to a place 

 where they make a product in Missouri called beer.

President: We had heard they did something of that

Mr. Geserich : I will say that I have gone down there

 in the world. When you get down there the brewery is

 there. (Applause and laughter. )

Mr. Geserich: I shall be glad to be here at 2 o'clock

Mr. Geserich: Then I will be here before 2 o'clock. 

 President : Is the Auditing Committee ready to report ? 

 Secretary: The chairman of the Auditing Committee 

 handed the report to me. It is as follows :
