Increasing Liquor Advertisements
THERE seems to be an unusual amount of space in the big daily papers occupied these days by the liquor interests. In some instances a whole page will be taken with just two or three words on it making mention of some particular brand of beer or other alcoholic drink. And it is no uncommon thing to see a quarter or an eighth of a page given to an advertisement of this kind. While observing this great activity in the way of taking advertising space, it is also to be noted that the big dailies, as a rule, are not joining in the fight for prohibition. Many of them are talking on the other side of the question. Can there be any connection between the advertising dollars they are getting, and the coloring matter they are putting into their consciences in this great struggle for the uplifting of humanity by the prohibition of the liquor traffic?
