SUES OF LIQUORS
BREAKING ALL RECORDS
When of AVhic and Wisk v Are
Stocking Up Against Coming
Dry Times.
KALES PASS EXCHANGES
Many Inquiries Made as to Legality
of Practice, but No Liquor Has
Been Made by Attorney-General or
Prohibition Commissioner.
With State-wide prohibition only two
days off, the traffic in liquors yesterday
established a new high mark for Richland,
several dealers were making the largest sales in the history of their
business in this city. This was notably
true in the crowded downtown retail
sections, where saloons and bottles
were sold, and their buying power appeared
unmistakable.
The notable feature of the buying
yesterday and for the past few weeks
has been the case purchases in the
past this buying of liquor by the case
was rare. Purchases in this volume
were made largely by mail of the recent
wholesale purchases, however, wholesale
purchases have become the rule, and there is a
well-defined movement on the part of
users of liquors and wines to stock up
as heavily as they can afford against
the period of drought that will soon
be here.
