Thos. Karcher of Salisbury,
whose saloon license expires
July 8, had unique ad. in the
Salisbury Democrat last week
which reads in part as follows:
"Going out of the saloon busi-
ness July 8, on account of local
option, and as the time is COM
ing closer every day, 1 would
kindly advise all my friends and
patrons, (wet or dry) to come in
and make their arrangements to
purchase and prepare for the
long four.year dry spell, and to
my friends:that have voted dry
l would also advise them to come
in and prepare for the long dry
spell, for the reason if they are
already dry now they will get
more so by that time, as l know
OF some that are SO dry now they
are sorry that they ever voted
dry as the old saying is: you
will neversmiss the water until
the well goes dry 80 l would
advise you to come in and get
some of that good water before
the we'll goes. dry in order to be
prepared for the long dry spell
which is confronting us now"
On readingibstween the lines the
ad. is not so much slap at the
"drys" as it is the regret to
close his shop at the appointed
time.
