Take a Good Look, Please!
Very soon now, Georgia’s city and county officers will
be issuing retail beer licenses for 1942.
The great majority of Georgia’s beer retailers operate
orderly, reputable places. Naturally, their licenses will
be renewed. But in any business or profession, there is
bound to be an occasional “black sheep”—one who, by
abusing the privilege of his license, forfeits his right
to stay in business.
That is why this Committee says:
