Original Toronto Star caption: Beer For Milwaukee - Via Toronto; It's almost like carrying coals to Newcastle. A shipment of Dutch beer - 1;200;000 bottles - was unloaded at Toronto's harbor this week on its way to U.S. Midwest centres including Milwaukee; the beer capital. The German ship Buntenstein was one of a number of vessels unloading at Toronto rather than continuing to Chicago.
