Decrease in Saloons Across 158 Cities 1905 07
The census bureau reports a six percent drop in retail liquor dealers in the 158 largest U.S. cities with populations over 30 000 from 1905 to 1907. The decline is widespread except in the Rocky Mountain and Southwestern states, not solely due to prohibition or sentiment but linked to broader business protests against drinking.
