Advertisement of an Honest Rumseller
The following appeared under the above heading in a newspaper in Summerville, Georgia, in the 1880's
"FRIENDS and neighbors, having just opened a commodious shop for the sale of 'liquid fire,' I embrace this early opportunity of informing you that on Saturday next I shall commence the business of making drunkards, paupers and beggars for the sober, industrious, and respectable portion of the community to support. I shall deal in 'familiar spirits' which will excite men to deeds of riot, robbery and blood; and by so doing diminish the comfort, augment the expenses and endanger the welfare of the community.
