Create Appetite for Drink Rules at Ohio Liquor Meeting
A delegate at a State Liquor Deal era meeting in Columbus proposed hospitality tactics to boost saloon sales by cultivating an appetite for liquor among boys. The note suggests missionary work, nickel offerings to youths, and a push to stem empty counters while warning of hunger if consumption declines. The Cadiz Republican report records Thomas Yates of Cambridge turning 86, with family history and a life spanning Cumberland County to St. Clairsville, including tin work, a saloon, and a Mexican War period.
