X. C. Star
Kansas City liquor dealers who
started original package houses in
Kansas and who were finally forced to
close them after experiencing flour
ishing business for short time, have
never lost confidence in the final sue
cess of their cause in the courts. A
great many of the dealers had their
sto ks shipped back to Kansas City,
while others kept them in the various
cities and towns pending the decision
in the United States court at Topeka.
Just as soon as the decision of Judges
Phillips and Foster was announced,
the original package houses were
thrown open for business but on q diff
ferent principle. The open saloon can
now do business as freely as before the
passage of a prohibitory law.
+. Myer, q liquor dealer at 1908
Union avenue, had several original
package houses I'm Kansas, and will
look after his customers by establish
ing saloons in some of the leading
cities. He says he never lost faith In
an ultimate favorable decision by the
United States courts, and when 1t came
he was not surprised. Most of his
original packages were returned to
Kansas City when the houses were
closed, but some of his stock Is yet in
Kansas. The open saloon can flourish
in Kansas like green bay sapling for
three months at least, for u law by the
Kansas legislature cannot be passed
under that time, and 1t Is possible that
o prohibitOry law may not be passed
at all, during this session at least.
Louis Robidoux, proprietor of the
Louisville, Importing COmpanya at 1927
Union avenue, returned this morning
from q trip through eastern Kansas,
where he made preparations for open
ing saloons. He had twenty-seven
original package houses i'm the State
during the brief period they fiOurished
and the stocks of most of them yet re-
main there. They are being op-
ened as rapidly as possible BY
the proprietor, or just as soon as
Every agent of his must give a bond |
for 81 900. Mr.. RobidOux says he ex-
poets to do bigger business in Kan
sas during the next three months than
he has done in any year before.
The WOOllenstein and Dreyfus liquor
companies are each doing big busi-
ness In Kansas, and will meet old COM
petitors in the saloon business in
Kansas.
