They say that during the great depression when everyone was broke and starving, somehow or another booze was flying off the shelves and they couldn’t make enough of it at any price...of course it was illegal, so that kinda dampened the production of it a little. But still, somebody always finds a way to get rich, no matter how bad it gets.

You got me where the deals are this time around. Maybe it will be realesate by the end of the year.

Alcohol wasn’t illegal during the majority of the Great Depression. Prohibition ended on 23 March, 1933, with the signing of the Cullen-Harrison Act by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The 18th Amendment was repealed on 5 December of that same year.
