Beer
& Wine Wholesale Business -- Bill
Langer was instrumental in helping Lou Stearns in getting his license to start
his wholesale business, Minot Beverage Company. According to one of his past
office managers, part of the deal was that Langor received a payment of 5 cents
for every bottle of beer or wine distributed. However the checks were always
sent to a judge in New York rather than to Bill Langer. One would suppose that
the money eventually reached him.
The
Soft Drink Business – The soft drink business started
in the Stearns Motors building as part of Minot Beverage Company. My
understanding is that at one time there was a bottling operation in the
basement of Stearns Motors. This was eventually moved to South Broadway and
became Northern Bottling Company, which is still in business today
