Abstract

A sponsored film produced by Wilding Picture Productions that depicts a historian and a writer discussing the corporate history and industrial motivations of Anheuser-Busch. The historian details the current status of the company as a mass producer and supplier of a variety of products and raw materials. He mentions the importance of the relationship between industry and faith. At this point in the film, there is a historical reenactment of the Busch generations through the end of the Prohibition Era. The reenactment displays the ideas behind the current business strategy: the ability to expand its production into a wide variety of industries and generate a profit, even when faced with closure due to prohibition. The Anheuser-Busch story exhibits the story of an American institution.
