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
17641067Sicily Naples and Turin 1764. Very good. Together 6 items: 1 broadside 46 x 34.5 cm 5 bandi folio sheets each folded once various sizes various wear some signatures clipped others supplied in manuscript assorted manuscript annotations extracted from bindings. 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. The present items illustrate the expansion of tobacco culture and the disjointed governmental responses from Sicily Naples and Turin:<br /> <br /> 1. Broadside: Carlo .
