PLEASE NOTE: This copy is *not* signed, despite what you may read elswhere in this description. 551 pages including index, bibliography, references and black and white photographs. Tells us of the Prohibition years - how Sam and his brothers kept one step ahead of the law - and paints an entertaining portrait of the romantic era of bootlegging. Sam emerges himself as a larger-than-life character: irascible, authoritarian, volcanic, iron-willed - as well as a loving father and loving husband. A seductive portrayal of a Canadian legend. Wonderful unmarked copy with only faint signs of handling. Several drops of light-beige staining to top edge. Book

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.'"

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.

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
