Talk:Adolphus Busch

Death
Adolphus Busch died at his Estate in a little village called Lindschied located 2.5 Km from Langenschwalbach (now Bad Schwalbach). This Busch complex which includes Villa Lilly, named after his wife, was renovated in the 1990´s and is currently being used as a drug rehabilitation center. The original buildings of the Busch complex are still in existance and in very excellent condition. --84.169.158.103 12:35, 16 September 2005 kfkfjf(UTC)

The article says: "He died while on vacation in Langenschwalbach, Germany (now Bad Schwalbach, Germany). His body was brought back in 1915 by train to St. Louis" Isn't that a bit of a difficult train trip? --141.150.90.45 01:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC) It is, but airplanes were still in an early stadium and the first Zeppelin arrived only in the late twenties.

Diesel license
In 1898 Rudolf Diesel sold Busch an exclusive license to trade diesel engines in the US. What happened to this business, did Busch pursue it at all? East of Borschov (talk) 11:41, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

New Source
The German Historical Institute in Washington, DC has published a short biographical article on Adolphus Busch that can be found here: http://www.immigrantentrepreneurship.org/entry.php?rec=152 Immigrantentrep (talk) 16:14, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Who is Anton ?
There are no other references in the article nor outside for Anton. See this sentence:

His brother Johann established a brewery in Washington, Missouri; Ulrich, Jr, married a daughter of Eberhard Anheuser in St. Louis and settled in Chicago; and Anton was a hops dealer who later returned to Mainz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Contributions/ (talk) 17:35, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

2,8 million
According to the main text both 100,000 and 250,000 are equal to 2,8 million today. It's possible, depending on value changes, but very unlikely to be so exactly the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.90.39 (talk) 13:46, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

August Busch IV is now on the board of Anheuser-Busch InBev. - When is "now"?
