Ford threats to quit making cars if prohibition ends
Henry Ford warned in September Pictorial Review that if alcohol returns to the United States he would leave manufacturing and shut his plants, saying he would not run autos for a generation "soggy with drink" and noting gas and booze do not mix. He insists prohibition is 99 percent effective, with the rest among the wealthy, criminals, and abandoned classes. Rev Joe Bickley and family from Menard visited Cherokee en route home from the Menard Methodist pastorate, with four children named Joe Jr Roy Marie and D Emory.
