Judge Penny Packer Rules Clubs Sell Liquor As Purchases
Philadelphia decision holds that liquor sold by a club steward to a member constitutes a sale even if the club is exclusive. Judge Pennypacker says money changes hands, title shifts, and drinks fetch retail prices, making licensing necessary for clubs selling to members, under the Brooks Law of 1887. The ruling questions whether clubs were ever exempt and weighs convenience against the legislature's aim to restrain liquor sales.
