The millionth case of beer this year rolled off the assembly line at the Reading Brewing Co. yesterday and Harry Fischman, president of the company, right, was there to mark the occasion. Fischman is seen showing the case to Thomas Ames, left, packaging engineer, and E. Edward Messer, center, brewmaster. Fischer noted that the millionth case last year came off the line Aug. 26th, and a total of 1,916,645 cases were produced that year. The case contained the brewery’s new six pack, 16 oz. “glass can” package. The brewing company recently completed a $2,000,000 expansion and modernization plan, the president said. – Eagle Photo
![Moore's Diner as it sat at 421 Penn Street in Reading. Moore's was first established at 5th & Court in 1937 by Walter J. Moore. He eventually opened four other diner locations downtown, and a restaurant on the corner of Lancaster Ave and Morgantown Road, which later became Queen City Diner.

Nice bit of nostalgia from the time Reading actually produced stuff. Have to admit I never liked that brand of beer, but the city had other active breweries too.
