Liquor Permits Sized To Fit Billfold In Montana

State liquor officials unveiled a compact 1938 permit that fits in a billfold, saving the state about $1,000 in printing and enabling easier carrying. Nearly 120000 permits are expected to be sold this year for about $60,000 in total. Last year many Montanans bought $2 permits, while those bought after late February paid 50 cents under the new pricing law.
