Denver. Colo, July 2s.-'Tf there
Is anyone in Denver who has any
doubt about the benefits that have
accrued to the business interests of
this State since prohibition went into
effect, we would like to demonstrate
TO him or her the effect of prohibition
on our business" said C. r. Loney,
sales manager OF the Leonard e.
Haler Real Estate Company.
Our business has doubled in vol
ume from last year since January /.
And the only way that such an in
crease in business and such general
prosperity can be accounted for. in
our opinion. Is by prohibition. Dur
ing the first six months OF tho pres
ent year we have sold s250,00o worth
OF real estate in and around Denver.
Denver has always been great
city. 1t has always been the grand
est place in which to live on the face
OF the earth. 1t has always main
tanned an enviabie reputation among
other cities for It's many advantages
of climate, scenic beauty, business
opportunities and wealth OF all things
worth while. We used to believe that
there wasn't any way to improve on
this city to make it more desirable,
more worth while as a good business
town and as desirable place to live.
But we were badly mistaken.
We have found in the last six
months that there was one thing left
undone too long to improve Denver.
And that one thing was the passage
and enforcement of prohibition. The
best thing that has ever struck this
town--the biggest Improvement thai
wide prohibition. And there are sew
fhnt.Sa nS 81 h1,a NJ Y.
in the city that will rise up and say
Amen to that. too, You don't have
to take my word for IT. Just get them
all together some time and ask them
about 1t and then stand off at safe
distance TO see them fall over them
selves to demonstrate their enthusi-
asm about the effect of prohibition
on business generally. Youll find /
haven't exaggerated a little bit"
Mr.. Loneys remarks were warmly
seconded and enlarged upon by the
other members OF the firm In person
THE only thing we can't understand
Is just how some people figured pro-
hibiton was going 10 hurt business.
said MIR. Halter, since business Ia
better than 1t ever was, we are totally
perplexed for an explanation OF that
feeling"
Mr.. Loney declared that he has sold
