Title
The American Issue, March 19, 1915
Subject
The main point of this comic is that alcohol reduces money for everyone involved since customers won't have as much to spend. Everyone suffers when alcohol is involved. Families don't have money for necessities, and merchants and shop owners get paid far less because people aren't buying as much. The only ones benefiting are saloon owners and liquor distributors.
Description
It shows two merchants leaving their town. The one from a dry town has many items, while the other from a wet town has far fewer items to sell.
