The Rum King Advocates Abstinence

ROLAND FRINZI, “the rum king of Jamaica,” recently made the statement, “I have manufactured and sold thirty million dollars worth of rum since I went into the business; but I have never tasted a drop.” That statement should make a deep impression. If a man, in order to make such a big success in the manufacture and sale of rum, can not allow himself to indulge in the use of it, certainly all others should abstain. Men who can not safely recommend their business by using the products they sell to others, thereby say, in the most emphatic language, that what they have to sell is an injury rather than a benefit or a blessing.
