The liquor dealers and distillers
know when to send out their
tempting literature. After the
crops are harvested and people
have some spare change the liquor
dealers send thousands Of circulars
all over the country Offering very
tempting inducements, hoping
thereby to secure orders. The
writer has received not lees than
a dozen of them, every one of
which is destroyed as soon as
opened. Do not be deceived by
these special offers. By reading
between the lines of these
circulars you can zee the devil
and his imps. Should you yield
and order the liquor you will
certainly find his majesty in the
jug when it arrives.
