Description
The roaring 20s saw the beginnings of the National Prohibition Act, which attempted to shut down the production and consumption of alcohol in the United States. As usual, people being as they are, quickly found many ways to circumvent the standing of law. Many locals began making liquor at home and a created what we now commonly refer to as bathtub gin. Others, with money and connections, imported beer and other types of alcohol from Canada and would sell it in a speakeasy where the party would begin. No doubt drinking and gambling was common in such place. Apparently, if your got caught, the Police would slap a notice on the door letting everyone know that establishment was shut down.
