AGAINST PROHIBITION

09 December 2013

Hi Ferd,

Read the post about: “better to drink beer than bitters or other patent medicines”. It put me in mind of a series of trade cards that are “Anti-prohibition” themed. There are six cards in the series, I have three. Strange as it sounds, there are Mom, Dad and BABY drinking beer! Captions extol the health benefits of drinking beer.

Have some fun with this ….. Joe (Gourd)
