the forthcoming election?
Every merchant in our city
should vote for a dry Milbank

other The dollars spent in
the saloons cannot be spent in
me- chandise that is quite certain
And every merchant knows that
those who frequent the saoons
spend their ready cash for LIQUOR
and in many cases ask the mer-
chant for credit for merchandise
Every citizen should vote for
dry Milbank because in 9 cases
out of 10 the revenue received
from saloons does not fully pay
the costs that accrue to the town
through liquor. When Sisseton
had its municipal saloon, the
city receiving the entire profits
of the sale of liquor, even then
taxes were not reduced.
