Homogeneous, high-trust, societies, with common cultures, values, morals, traditions, and religions, have a quality all their own. And no, we'll never see that again in this country.

I've got about 100 wartime newspapers, mostly the Des Moines Register.
A few highlights.

Those liquor prices are wild. $40 for southern comfort? $20+ for others. That was a LOT back then.

Something you have to consider - the distilleries had converted to producing some sort of alcohol for the war effort. They were selling stock they already had and the supply was limited. I read that they were allowed to go back to whiskey production for one month only in August 1944. The supposed five year supply they had on hand before they converted to industrial alcohol production was drunk up! |

I used to have the front page of the Statesville Record & Landmark for VE day but I don't think it survived the move.

Bizarre ad from a January 1943 Chicago Tribune. Knew Arf would get a laugh out of it.
