188656938Olympia W.T.: Thomas H. Cavanaugh Public Printer 1886. 8vo. 555 5 xxvii 1 xv 1 ix 1 pp. Contemporary full calf red black & gilt morocco spine labels minor uniform toning some edgewear minor bumping to corners still VG copy from the library of Bates & Burnett law firm with William Charles Bates 1885-1973 and Milton L. Burnett 1887-1972 who operated for decades in Vancouver WA from before World War I and moved their firm into the Charles Brown historic house in 1945 beginning a local trend of using older homes for professional buildings and George W. Yocum 1827-1890 longtime Portland attorney. First edition of this rare Washington Territory lawbook including the January 29 1886 Alien Land Ownership law which was the only anti-Chinese measure to pass the legislature as well as two laws related to Prohibition advocated by newly empowered women’s suffrage voters. The Alien Land laws emerged out of the anti-Chinese riots in Tacoma WA in November 1885 when labor organizations such as the Knights of Labor with the aid of the Pierce County Sheriff succeeded in forcing all of the Chinese residents out of town as well as torching their homes. Building on the 1882 Federal Chinese Exclusion Acts the Territorial Legislature specifically excluded any “Alien†who were “incapable of becoming citizens of the United States†could neither own land or convey title of properties to heirs. Unfortunately for the Chinese in Seattle this failed to placate socialist firebrands suffragettes & Knights of Labor advocates Laura Hall Peters and Mary Kenworthy or the equally charismatic Knights of Labor organizer Daniel Cronin. In February 1886 hundreds of working-class white men and women on the pretense of enforcing local health regulations condemned buildings in Seattle’s Chinatown and herded over 350 Chinese residents down to the Seattle docks and demanded they ship out. About 200 Chinese embarked for San Francisco and another had to wait six days for another ship setting off a riot and declaration by Washington Territory Governor Squire and President Grover Cleveland. The “Local Option†law passed by the Territorial Legislature in 1886 garnered huge opposition from saloon owners and cases brought resulted in the 1888 ruling against “Local Option†by the Territorial Supreme Court returning the power back to city councils and county commissioners.

Small but very interesting collection of Bandi on the prohibition of tobacco all scarce none are found in OCLC / FirstSearch. As there was no centralized government in Italy the restrictions on Tobacco was a quagmire of regional taxation restriction and monopolization as is attested by the bandi in the present collection. Increasing tobacco consumption in the Italian penensula merited the establishment of fiscal laws by various States.

188930728New York: The National Temperance Society and Publication House 1889. Original printed wrappers some edge and spine chipping rear wrapper detached but present and original staples. 36pp. Clean text. Except as noted Very Good.<br /> <br /> In 1881 Kansas enacted a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture or sale of alcoholic beverages. Doing so was a misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment. The amendment effectively rendered Peter Mugler who operated a brewery unemployed. He brought suit claiming that Kansas had unconstitutionally deprived him of his property in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Writing for the Court Justice Harlan-- who would issue a powerful dissent several years later in the notorious case of Plessy vs. Ferguson-- held that the amendment was a permissible exercise of the State's police powers which have always been reserved to the States as an attribute of their sovereignty. <br /> The rear wrapper advertises works sponsored by the National Temperance Society.<br /> OCLC locates eleven copies under two accession numbers as of November 2013.

The camel which Thomas Nast chose as the symbol of the Prohibition Party has replaced the Statue of Liberty on the pedestal. Camels don't drink very often; when they do they only drink water. <br /> This item was likely painted between 1931 and 1933. The official Beer for Prosperity Campaign was organized May 1931 in New York City. Edward H. Schulze was director of the organization and announced that he would support all political candidates in favor of legalizing beer. The slogan spread over the next year and a half. Posters for this campaign in 1932 advertised that legalizing beer would bring two trillion dollars in new revenue in four years because "millions of dollars made from bootleg Beer now finances all kinds of crimes kidnappings etc." Another campaign poster advertised purchases of "Beer for Prosperity" Stamps to "Help Elect to Congress Men Who Will Vote 'Yes.'"

Friedrichs Company was founded in 1868 and is still in business today under the modern name of Fredrix. The Hirshberg Company originated in 1845 as Hirshberg Hollander & Company and remained in business under a few different Hirshberg names until approximately the early 1960s. Henry B. Taws opened in Philadelphia around 1897 and remained in business until at least 1931. unknown
1933157897Cincinnati: Romach and Groene 1933. Vintage photograph of the first legal whiskey produced in Ohio during prohibition at the Carthage Distilling Company in Cincinnati with contemporary annotations of location dates and personnel and a "Rombach and Groene Commercial Photographers Cincinnati Ohio" stamp on the verso. <br /> <br /> A fascinating prohibition artifact depicting fifteen men and one woman standing in a warehouse before a stack of three whiskey barrels the topmost barrel prominently marked "1" less than two months before the passage of the 21st Amendment December 5 1933 repealing prohibition. On the verso in a contemporary hand is written: "First Barrel Whiskey produced in the State of Ohio since the 18th amendment became effective / manufactured and produced at the Carthage Distilling Corpn. plant Cincinnati Ohio / mashed under date Oct. 20th 1933 / drawn and entered under date Oct. 23rd 1933."<br /> <br /> Cincinnati Ohio second only to Louisville Kentucky in the production of bourbon prior to the end of prohibition was best known during prohibition as the headquarters for the "King of Bootleggers" George Remus. Cincinnati was located within a 300 mile radius of 80 percent of all of America's bonded whiskeys making it an ideal location for a massive bootlegging enterprise as well as for the headquarters to the Schenley Distillery one of only six distilleries nationwide with a license to sell medicinal spirits during prohibition. An October 26 1933 article from the Cincinnati Enquirer entitled "Big Blending Plant Planned For Reading; First Legal Whisky In Ohio Is Produced" confirms the annotations on the photograph "Simultaneously with the actual production of medicinal whisky at its plant in Carthage-said to be the first legal whisky turned out in Ohio since prohibition-it became known yesterday that the National Distillers Products Corporation New York largest distiller in the country will locate one of its major blending and bottling plants in the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati." The article continues "The Carthage Distillery on Anthony Wayne Avenue Carthage is the only distillery now operating in the state of Ohio." In 1933 the Carthage Distilling Company was acquired by the National Distillers Products Corporation and in 1987 was bought by Jim Beam.<br /> <br /> Established in 1883 Cincinnati photographers Rombach and Groene specialized in commercial and landscape photography. In 2001 the Cincinnati Museum Center acquired the Rombach and Groene Collection a collection of over 6500 glass and film negatives and a hundred prints dating from 1870 to 1970. The company closed in 1973.<br /> <br /> 10 x 8 inches. Very Good with some modest creasing four small bruises and a small repair to the surface of the image to the center right.

1920LIST120American 1920. Gelatin silver photograph 5 ½ x 3 ½ inches on Cyko stock photo paper. Very Good. A scarce photograph of a bootlegging operation c. early 1920s. The photograph is printed on Cyko stock which was used through the early 1920s. Few images of bootleggers have survived. The six men in the picture look quite serious in their work and it’s difficult to imagine why they allowed a picture to be taken. A very good example with good contrast well preserved. unknown

1918723Westerville OH: The American Issue Publishing Co. 1918. Very good. Vintage broadside. Image:12.75 x 20 in.; framed: 19 x 26 in. Custom dark brown wood frame matted under UV museum glass. Not examined outside of frame. Very good or better. <br /> <br /> Westerville Ohio was known as the "Dry Capital of the World" and home of the Anti-Saloon League -- the driving force behind the Prohibition movement in the United States. Some historians consider the league - founded in Oberlin Ohio in 1893 but based in Westerville from 1909 to 1973 - to be the first successful single-issue advocacy group a type of lobbying group common in the modern political landscape. This particular broadside from the prolific group admonishes men to "Save your wages for your families and do not sink them in saloons." There are quotes from Father Mahoney who testifies "Only let the claims of Prohibition be put before the Irish Americans and other Catholics in a way worthy of it and of them and all their tender feelings will make them be not only voters for Prohibition but its most earnest and effective guardians." There are further testimonies from anti-saloon advocates from the Knights of Labor and an author who wrote several books regarding the evils of drink. The American Issue Publishing Co. unknown

1920List1317Southern California 1920. Limp leatherette album oblong 4to measuring 10 x 7 inches with seventy photographs most measuring 4 x 2 ½ inches. Wear to binding photographs with excellent contrast very good to near fine overall. Near Fine. An energetic album of photographs belonging to one Eddie Jones a fun-loving banjo player from Santa Ana mostly composed of photographs of musicians performing at small parties and functions during the prohibition era. Jones was apparently quite active on the local scene and the album is mostly made up of candid photographs of musicians all captioned some humorously. Many of the photographs show small bands playing guitars many of them playing with slides likely due to the popularity of Hawaiian music at the time. Also included are many photographs of parades in and around Los Angeles as well as photographs of the 1925 Santa Barbara Earthquake showing damaged buildings. Two photographs feature a glass of rye others show agricultural scenes. Newspaper clippings in the back center on the Santa Ana and it’s possible that Jones - who was the common name mentioned in these clippings - was also a farmer from the Santa Ana area when he wasn’t playing music. One photograph shows San Diego a couple show a bullfight in Tijuana. Overall an evocative and well preserved piece of California Prohibition-era history. unknown
19331172New Haven: Connecticut Branch W. O. N. P. R. 1933. Broadside. 7" x 10 1/4. Single sheet printed on one side. Slight age toning. Fine condition. This is an original handbill from a major women's group soliciting votes to repeal Prohibition in 1933.<br /> <br /> Women's organizations--particularly the Women's Christian Temperance Union--are strongly associated with passage of the 18th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution and the national ban on alcoholic beverages it brought in 1919. The major role women played in getting Prohibition repealed is not as widely recognized however.<br /> <br /> This handbill was issued by the Connecticut Branch of the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform W.O.N.P.R. The W.O.N.P.R. was organized in 1929 by women who could no longer ignore the destructive if unintended consequences of Prohibition. <br /> <br /> Here voters are asked to vote for ratification of the 21st Amendment reminding them that "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Repeal!" and "A Vote for Ratification is a Vote for Good Government Lower Taxes and Liquor Control." <br /> <br /> The efforts of the W.O.N.P.R. and other repeal groups were successful and Prohibition was repealed with the ratification of the 21st Amendment in December of 1933.<br /> <br /> A tangible piece of Prohibition and women's history.
