Is worked thus: ~

regular stock company is formed ouppose LIZ
,,nount subscribed IS SIS each This sum puys 9

liouors being DECIDED by vote OF the clun' Wher
the liouors arrive they slowed away IN th'
lockers OF the different members, or at least the'

checks the club member is simply charging himsel
for his own louor for at the end of specihe'

posedly used for the replenishment Of his locke
supply The object Of having any list al ALL tneo

what liquors he keeps in his lockers ana INTO VIE
