Mida's Compendium of Information for the Liquor Interests

PREFATORY.

There is no business beset with so many intricate legal
restrictions, federal, state and local, as that of the traffic in
spirituous, malt and vinous liquors.

The legal decisions and internal revenue regulations have
become so numerous and complex that an authoritative sum-
mary which may serve as a guide to avoid pitfalls has become
an imperative necessity, and this has been the main incentive
that led to the preparation of this work.

The increasingly important subjects of trade-marks, ware-
house receipts and statistical and other information for the
daily conduct of business also receive due attention.

Distiller, brewer, wine producer, importer, dealer-whole-
sale and retail-and all collateral branches will find this work an
indispensable adjunct for daily reference and truly encyclopedic
in its range.

The Table of Contents will reveal the wide scope of the work,
every contingency as it may arise being provided for, and prece-
dent cases cited in a terse, comprehensive way. Being intended
for the use of business men, the subjects are treated in plain
language divested of all legal and technical phraseology. The
matter has been so thoroughly systematized that the desired
information can be readily found on any question that may pre-
sent itself.

This Compendium crystalizes the arduous labors and
painstaking researches of over a third of a century devoted to
the liquor interests.

That it may fulfill the purpose intended-of safeguarding
the interests of the trade-is the sincere wish of the publisher.
