Georgia voters are i'.xgecl to bear in mind that
beer, whiskey and wine will be listed separately on
the referendum ballots, and that it will be possible
to vote for beer, and against whiskey or wine, or
vice-versa. The Georgia Legislature provided a
separate referendum for beer, so that people who
want to vote for the legalized sale of beer alone,
can do so.
Legalized sale of beer in Georgia should increase
employment in the State by more than IS,000
jobs, stimulate industry and improve business con
ditions along many Une3. Railroads, truck-lines,
supply manufacturers, building material manufac
turers, hotels, cafes, printers, etc., would all receive
increased business.
Beer is a wholesome, healthful food beverage
that encourages real temperance. Statistics show
that the beer-drinking nations are the most tem
perate nations of the civilized world.
