orders from the Minnesota Public
Safety Commission, you are here
by ordered to obey the following
rules:
l. No wholesaler of any liquor
shall be permitted to sell to any
one party except to a licensed
saloon paying the license, to the
City of Ely.
2. Above order covers all out
side wholesale houses. If any
shipping from outside is proven
same shall be stopped, but it is for
the local licensed men to report
this sort of violation.
3. No Blind Pig" will be toler-
ated and any local retail liquor
merchant who deliberately sells to
a blind pig" shall be held fully
responsible for same.
4. No more than one case of
beer nor more than one gallon of
whiskey shall be delivered to any
one house within one week. Viola
ton of this order will cancel the
license at once.
S. No liquor of any kind shall
be delivered to any party between
10 O'Clock p. m. and 8 O'Clock a.
N. nor during any Sunday or legal
holiday.
E. All saloons must be kept
strictly closed during the prohibit
ed hours, any violation shall re-
suit in cancellation of the license
at once.
7. No women shall be allowed in
the place where liquor is sold,
either for drinking or lettering,
unless they are directly connected
with the business in proprietary
way, and then only to oversee
their business.
8. The saloon keepers are re-
sponsible for any blind pigging"
and if it is proven that person re-
sells the liquor purchased from a
saloon keeper, that saloon keeper
is held responsible.
~e.Above orders are for the pro-
lection of the licensed liquor deal
ers and it is up to these men to see
that this is obeyed. The life of
the liquor trade depends on the
obeyance of these rules.
10. The Minnesota Public Safety
Commission is not against the legal
liquor dealer, but they ARE against
the illegal sale of liquor. 1t is up
to the licensed dealers to cooperate
and eliminate the evil.
IL. If the above orders are not
carried out in the spirit in which
they are given, the Minnesota Pub
lie Safety Commission has power
to declare the state Bone-Dry."
1t is therefore to your interest to
see that these orders are obeyed.
II. Recently the local liquor
dealers agreed to obey these orders
at their meeting. So far as our in
formation goes, only three saloon
keepers have done their duty, as
agreed. This shows that the rest
do not want to obey the law. 1t
must be obeyed or the penalty will
be imposed.
10. Above are the instructions
given for the benefit of the trade.
We are living in times of distur-
bance and every citizen ought to
support the laws, much more so,
the liquor merchants.
IA. The meaning of above order
is, that no saloon keeper shall
solicit orders for any liquor. He
may deliver same upon specific
order, not to exceed the stated
qantity, but the orders must be
placed in the place of business and
their record kept.
Is. If the above orders are not
obeyed, further orders will be given
strictly forbidding any sale of
liquor except to the licensed places
and even this depends on the con-
duct of this business.
16. These orders hold good for
the liquor dealers as we'll as those
who are customers. Both are liable
to fine for violation of these
orders. Please post your customers
about these requirements.
