Syllabus

<p>Intoxicating Liquors @=52—Licenses—Different Kinds of Business.</p> <p>An information was filed by the United States against the defendant for engaging in the sale of liquor at wholesale without a license. The defendant is engaged in brewing beer and selling it to the trade at wholesale only. It has a license under section 2569, Comp. Laws Alaska 1913, as “breweries, five hundred dollars per annum,” which amount it has paid, and for which the United States issued it a license under that authority. Defendant refuses to pay for and take out an additional license under section 2577, as a wholesale liquor dealer. Held, the section 2569 under which defendant pays the license as “breweries, five hundred dollars per annum,” authorizes it to manufacture, brew, and dispose of its brewery product to the public in wholesale quantities. One who thus sells the brewery product thus manufactured is not a wholesale liquor dealer within the meaning of that phrase as it is used in section 2577, Comp. Laws Alaska 1913. Defendant found “not guilty.”</p> <p>@=See same topic & KEY-NUMBER in all Key-Numbered Digests & Indexes</p>
