PROVIDING FOR
MORNING "NIP"
Whisky Agent Says Drinkers
Are Laying in Home Sup-
S ply Before July 1
SunhurT, Pa., May 20.—Those who
have the cash and like a morning bit
of intoxicating liquors are laying in
large stocks, according to information
gained from a wholesaler's agent.
They say it is not unusual to ship a
barrel of bottled goods to one man.
and an unsolicited view at the order
book found some of the names of the
leading men of the community, it is
said.
Although this class of whisky buy
ers do not have red noses, like the
"park sparrows" that infest the hßrd
cider selling saloons, it is agreed by
their friends that they believe in do
ing their shopping early, as there are
but forty days between now and
July 1.
Saloonkeepers are not worrying
they say. They assert that President
Wilson will either rescind the order
to stop the sale of liquors on July 1,
or that Congress will repeal the war
time prohibition act. Many have
stocked heavily with whisky and
wines in anticipation of this event.
All agree that beer is scarce at $2O
a barrel, but there seems to be a
never ending supply. Sunbury's
fountainhead of the beer-stream is
! Reading, while some comes from Al
lentown.
