TAXREDUCTION
* .. ON ALCOHOL
SOUGHT
Drug Manufacturers Claim
High Cost of Medicine
'Has Been Result.
New tax legislation in Congress,
following Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon's plan to reduce taxes, will
be featured by a fight to lower the
tax on industrial alcohol, used for
manufacturing medicines k and for
other scientific purposes.
Although Secretary Mellon, in cit
ing a lengthy list of tax items,
a some of them in the so-called
8 “nuisance” or luxury class that
should be reduced, no recommends
» tion was made concerrfing taxes on
alcohol used in medicinal prepara
tions.
Tax on Necessities.
Drug manufacturers are united
for a proposal to lower this class
of taxes, or abolish them entirely,
as they hit directly at the sick,
upon manufactured commodities
that are primarily in the list of
necessities.
The government now collects
about $28,000,000 annually from a
tax of $2.20 a gallon on alcohol for
Industrial purposes. Os this tax
sl.lO was imposed by Congress
under the revenue act of 1921, and
was regarded strictly as a war
Medicine manufacturers claifn
there should be no tax whatever
upon alcohol used in medicinal
preparations. They not only are
concerned about lowering the tax
on alcohol used in the manufacture
of their own proprietary medicines,
but believe the government should
*• remove the tax entirely from all
alcohol employed in the extraction
• and preservation of many of the
Ingredients used in medicine manu
facture.
Medicine Cost Rises.
Leading drug manufacturing as
sociations of the United States have
instructed their legislative repre
sentatives in Washington to contend
for a reduction, or the abolition of
the industrial alcohol tax, on the
basis solely that the present tax
Imposed serves to pyramid the ulti
mate cost of medicines to the sick
and needy in times when they are
least ablß~to bear such expense.
The contention is that this tax
is passed along to the consumer
not only on proprietary medicines,
but practically all medicines used
In physicians* prescriptions.

g|l||| Society Brand Overcoats only gN MH
—1924 Models----that were II B
made to Sell from $ 55 to $ 125 -
. ■ ' ■. . - - • ■ .. .
This is a sale that will appeal’to the man who likes fine things. Who
usually pays a custom tailor SIOO or more for his suits* And who prefers
a ready-for-service overcoat provided it meets his idea of fabric and cut.
For this is a sale of the very finest overcoats that are made—not simply
Society Brand Overcoats, but the best coats that Society Brand produces.
Many of the fabrics are of English origin, Meltons, Chinchillas, Shetlands,
as well as the famous American Woolens. Tailored only as Society Brand
knows how. To say that these coats ordinarily would be from $55 to
$125 is putting it conservatively.
■ We are able to make this offer, right in the heart of the >
jOlliiisJwrak season, because Society Brand had on hand an over-pro<
duction of their finer coats. It took courage to turn the
deal—but the coats looked so good, and Washington men
like to look so good, that we couldn’t resist the opportu
llOißM nity. ’
* s a sa^e at 500 men will long remember. It gives ||
• 1 Jami
IIKWI them the chance to secure the finest overcoat in the land
at savings that average from 20 to 33%. May we suggest ! jw <
that you look these coats over early in the interest of your
selection.
