Prohibition Strain Deepens Liquor Trade in North Dakota
North Dakota, nominally dry, tightens enforcement yet reports show wholesalers moving large liquor volumes across the border from Minnesota. Internal Revenue data for year ending June 1909 notes 1695 government licenses issued in North Dakota and 183 in South Dakota, with Moorhead dealers claiming shipments of 1000 cars of liquor into North Dakota last year. Saloons flourish in Grand Forks and Moorhead across the river, each town housing many saloons and beer agents, while prices and profits lure wholesalers. A stark menu and lavish furnishings in Moorhead underscore the paradox of prohibition.
