The other day I picked up a newspaper and, glancing over the
advertisements for help, read as follows:
“Wanted--A bartender. Must be a total abstainer. Apply,” etc.
Is not that a curious advertisement? What should we think of
such an advertisement in another line of business? How would an
advertisement like this look?
“Wanted--A barber who has never had his hair cut. Apply at the
barbershop on the corner.”
Or this?
“Wanted--A salesman in a shoe-store. He must go barefooted while
on duty. Apply at Bank’s shoe-store.”
What other business finds it necessary or desirable to advertise
for help pledged to make no use of the goods sold? Can it
be that the liquor traffic finds it has wrought so great
demoralization among its followers that it is forced to draw
upon temperance or total abstinence “fanatics” in order to
continue its business?--_California Voice._
