Carling Plant in Natick Still Could Stay Open
Massachusetts officials say there is hope the Carling Brewing Co. Natick plant will not close as it distributes to New England, upstate New York and New York City. Manpower Secretary Howard N. Smith noted no final decision has been made after his Baltimore meeting with Jerold Hoffberger. The plant now brews about 700000 barrels a year but needs 900000 to break even, while state efforts focus on market factors and potential problems beyond sales.
