The Flying Squadron

By Editor

A group of Pacific Press employees working for temperance in near-by cities and towns in conjunction with the Santa Clara County Dry Federation. These workers are distributing 2,000 temperance SIGNS, and 12,000 of the tracts and leaflets described below. They make it a point to do this work on the same days that temperance rallies are held by the "dry" forces in the places visited. One of the Federation officers has appropriately named this company the "Flying Squadron."

Friends of temperance everywhere could not do better than secure a good supply of these unexcelled tracts and leaflets for work in their home city or town. If you are without organization, don't let that hinder, but plan to do something on your own initiative.

The liquor traffic is the greatest evil in existence. Are you willing and ready to do your part, even though that may be small, to put it out of business? If so, make a selection from the list below, and place them in your neighbors' hands. Results are sure to follow.

"The Demons' Council." A unique document written in allegorical style. 100 ……50c

"Prohibition or the Liquor Traffic — Which?" contains admissions from the opponents of prohibition as to the evils growing out of the liquor traffic. This is one of the strongest arguments favoring prohibition. 100 ……50c

"Story of a Dry Town." An interesting story of a town as it was with its seven saloons, and the results two years after it went dry. 100 …………………………25c

"Why Does the Saloon Exist?" The saloon man says he has a legal right to do business. Has he? This publication presents the "legal right" phase of the question. 100 …………$1.00

"Dark Valley Railroad." In two colors, in the form of a railroad time-table. Gives names of stations, time of arrival of trains, and shows map of the route. Cigaretville, Mild Drink, Tipplersville, are some of the stations. 100, $1.50

"It Doesn't Pay." The question as to whether the liquor traffic pays is much debated. This tract considers the saloon from this standpoint. 100 ……………………$1.00

"The Wine Industry and Prohibition." The claim is made that prohibition will throw thousands out of employment, and make valueless vast tracts of land. Will it? This tract answers this contention negatively, and satisfactorily to all. 100 …………………………$1.00

Pocket Package No. 4. 400 pages of the above tracts assorted, in a strong Manila envelope, for 25c. Postage prepaid.

Our depository in your state (see list on page 15) will give your order prompt attention.
