interesting 100 years ago story about Ruston and alcohol being sold in the drugstore to mechanics?
Jim Where is this story to be found? Would like to read it. Thanks
It was on page 2B News Tribune LOOKING BACK 100 years ago Wednesday May 25th:
100 YEARS AGO TODAY
May 25, 1916:
Almost everybody in Ruston is a "mechanic" according to the records of a pharmacy on Pearl Street which shows $75 worth of sales (an average of 60 sales) of alcohol for "mechanical purposes." County authorities captured a large quantity of intoxicants.
That is it in entirety. Amazingly May 25, 2016 the same insanity is capturing a recreational herb THC also known as marijuana much to the glee of the Mexican drug lords.
Those were the days when the pharmacist would listen to your ailment and mix a potion for you. Only Doctor was at the smelter.
