Over year ago. we placed our bust
ness on cash basis, and by cutting
out all expense that could possibly be
dispensed with. we have been able to
give our customers a lower rate of
prices. The experiment has proved
satisfactory 10 both ourselves and TO
our patrons. We have now added
| fresh meat to our stock Of goods and
shall be able TO Offer our meat the
same as our groceries giving our GUS
toners the benefit OF our saving in eX-

The effort of a former Ludington
saloon keeper To recover some power
OF his loss through being compelled to
quit business because OF the lawless
character of the place he kept, deyel-
oped some facts most times too true
Of saloons and their operations, but
not always known 10 the general pub
lie. A Milwaukee Brewing Co, owned
the building In which William Mills,
the saloon keeper In question, was
doing business. The brewing COM
pany also owned the saloon fixtures
and in a contract through which the
sale Of the place to Mills was provided
for the saloon keeper bound himself
to buy all his beer from the brewery
owner Of the building and the fixtures.
A wholesale liquor company was also
connected with the ownership in
such way as SO compel the saloon
keeper TO buy all OF his wine and liq-
uor of the company. This Ludington
incident indicates the sort Of home
interest that relates to much Of the
saloon business Of Michigan, The
Milwaukee, Chicago and st, Louis and
Cincinnati breweries own and operate
hundreds of Michigan saloons and
every dollar Of their profits aside from
mere expense 20 to the big brewery
firms Of these outside cities, These
foreign brewries add nothing to Mich
igan industry or to Michigan develop
ment. But barnacle like these brew
~ owned saloons live and thrive upon
the legitimate business activities OF
the communities which they afflict
and their distant owners know little,
and care less as to the suffering and
loss endured in order to provide their
weekly and monthly remittance.
