| "The plant of the Boone County Distilling Company, at Petersburg, the largest distillery in the Sixth Kentucky District, will soon be a thing of the past. The plant, which is now owned by the Trust, will be dismantled and further operations will cease. Including the cattle pens, the plant covers fourteen acres of ground. There are now some 30,000 barrels of whiskey in storage, which is being taken out at a rate of 300 barrels a week. Thomas H. Matthews, who has been superintendent of the place for years, will be sent to New York, where he will take charge of the large distribution houses." Warsaw Independent, May 24, 1902 |
