The brewery experienced tremendous growth in the 1940s, as it became a major supplier to regional military installations during [[World War II]]. Sales began to lag in the 1950s, despite a heavy investment in advertising, and a [[1951]] ouster replaced Spearman with [[B. F. Jenkins]] as president and manager of the company. He was reinstated a year later and continued to operate the plant until around [[1960]], when national competition, increasing debt and pressure from Zilker's widow convinced Spearman to sell to the Hertzberg Foundation. He continued to operate the Crystal Ice Company.
Spearman died in {{date needed5/1966}}.
