Once upon a time, Schlitz beer was known as “The beer that made Milwaukee famous†and was advertised with the slogan “When you’re out of Schlitz, you’re out of beerâ€. And this ad, wouldn't fly today.
Flood in Beardstown, Illinois (1922): the Cole Creek Levee Break
This picture shows a 30 foot wall of water raging towards Beardstown as the levee broke under the tremendous pressure, with the Illinois River flooding into in the lowlands at the right.
In foreground are the C.B. & Q. railroad tracks, which was the last connecting link between Beardstown and the outside world. Beardstown was completely cut off from Schuyler County as 504 feet of the railroad track were washed out by the raging flood water.
