Not a Cigar Sold in Brunswick Sunday, April 1913

"Not a Cigar Sold in Brunswick Sunday," from the Atlanta Constitution, as reprinted in the Dixie Druggist, April 1913, online at UNC Health Sciences Library

Brunswick, Ga., March 9--The druggists of Brunswick, it appears, cannot get the new Sunday law "on straight." After two or three meetings and after deciding to close together on Sun days, the association held another meeting yesterday afternoon, which was quite a breezy session. After considerable discussion, it was finally agreed to keep their places of business open for the sale of drugs only.

Brunswick today saw the tightest Sunday in her history. The several drugstores were open, and that was all. Not a cigar was sold, the newsdealers were afraid to even send their newsboys on the street, and at the several social clubs it was announced that not a thing would be sold. The drugstores, too, did not keep open for the entire day, and their sales were confined strictly to the sale of medicines.
