Prohibition Impact in Colorado Draws Debate
A 1946 letter from W. J. Rhynshur argues prohibition boosted Colorado business after the 1920s dry move. He cites Denver bank deposits rising, better store collections, and profit gains for gas, electric, and telephone firms, plus increased Stock Show admissions. He notes fewer murders and arrests, and asserts saloon opponents will push to renew the issue next fall. He bases figures on anti saloon league leaders and Dr. McNeill of Denver.

The Male Quar tette at Pella Chautauqua
