Where is everyone #5

All the little restrictions and taxing angles.
In Waterloo, Iowa. 1955/56, to a liquor store for a bottle.. Select and to counter. Ask the man. How much? He says,: See your book?
Me MS boy who always paid and got and went...
Received an explanation of the IA way to control drinking.
You buy a "Book", then $2.00 (Cost of printing, in no way a tax or state profit) Book is like a miniature Excel spreadsheet.
Clerk fills in date, time, quantity, and initials This to restrict you to certain volumes of purchase in a time period.

So it cost me $2.00 plus the price of he whiskey to legally buy a pint I could have got at my bootlegger in MS, any hour of day or night, no ID, for less money.

 

Starting early this year.

 

We’re 3 weeks out I think
