Woman Tips Off Police About Filling Stations Selling Liquor, Oct. 15, 1926

Something Else Besides Gas

A good woman who lives in a town not very large, in a private letter says that she knows of a number of filling stations along the road where they do not confine themselves to the selling of gas and oil, but “they are prepared at all time to fill and hand out to their patrons bottles and jars of the vile liquor being manufactured these days.” This tip to the authorities out to be sufficient to protect the law-abiding filling station people against crooks in the business.
