Opulent Bootlegger Going North WILL JO!X UIS WIFE AT LAKE His Trade Won’t Be Neglected

My wife is already up there at the lake, and for the next lew months the only wet goods t il handle will be the nut.-kies 1 pull out of the water. Cm not b-oving became 1 I have to, but I'm not staying in Indianapolis over a hot summer because I don't have to. Business lias been l-ri-k. especially lately wilh conventions and preparations for the Memorial day crowds, but my customers are pretty well supplied and I’ve enough j i-'k in my kick to tide me over several months. When 1 come back in the fall i may not Jo any bootlegging. The business, while it is stilt profitable, and. worked the way I work it, safe from Interference, Is not what it used to t.e. It's harder to hold old customers, because there is so much competition and because so many of my customers have friends who get max tie a ease of "good sttiff" they are willing to divide—at cost. Then, too, the quality of the goods we've been getting lately is terrible. Lately 1 have had to fall back on oeeaftional sales of two or throe and even sometimes a single bottle, and that's risky business. I’d rather handle bigger quantifies. It's l"ss work, less risk and while I don’t make as much on each quart when I sell half a ease or a ease. I get what I do make quicker and the deal is done. The fellow who has been bringing the stuff up here for me is taking over my regular customers, ami he'll do well, because he'll run the business just as I have b-H-n running it. and unless he gets greedy and tries to make too much of a kilting, lie's got a ebam-e to clean up a fair sized pile. 1 don't know what line of business to go into. Tending bar under the old laws and selling In violation of the new laws, does not particularly qualify 11 guy for any special line of business that's legitimate. I sort of hate to give up ‘legging, but my wife don’t like it. I quit making trips after the stuff myself on her ac-
