store dealing in the same line of goods
The question has occurred 10 the writer,
II this project 10 establish another Ii
quor saloon is based IN this law of com.
msreial life.
We have come to the conclusion that
II is not. We have one licensed salo,a.
Does the pS,pul alton demand two? This
can only be answered in the affirmation.
in case the demand is greater than the
supply. Has any u a doubt as to the
AGILITY OF our present saloon 10 satisfy
the demands Of the people? No. no
n will doubt the assertion that the
present saloon is capable nf making
every man, woman and child in the
community heastly. disgacefully drunk
in twelve hours If the demand should
reach that height Then accounting 10
tie law OF demand and supply there is
no need OF two saloons in this village.
Again, does the management. Tor
mls-managementl al the present Salcsn
call for the establishment OF another?
This question eau only he answered in
the negative. Then what il the motive.
