Life Insurance and Prohibition Reflections in Twin-City Sentinel
A life insurance pitch urges daily ten cent payments to secure a $1000 policy for a 35 year old, with tax-free future benefits and a lasting estate. The piece then cites Congressman Webb on North Carolina prohibition outcomes, contrasting pre and post prohibition eras with broader social reform, education, and the need to protect children from poverty, drink, and drugs. It laments future criminals among today’s youth and urges social investment to save the next generation.
