Anti-liquor temperance leaflet titled The People of Pennsylvania Spent in 1940 for Intoxicating Liquors, prepared and published by the National Reform Association, 209 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. A folded four-page sheet, about 5.2 x 8.3 inches folded, printed in red and blue, comparing 1940 state and Dauphin County spending on liquor and beer against public relief and public schools, with licensed-place counts as of July 14, 1941. Condition: toned with edge wear, small corner chips and creases, and a pencil notation on the back.

Inside: Dauphin County Expenditures for 1940, a bar chart of per capita liquor sales for Allegheny, Philadelphia, Dauphin, Blair, Northumberland and Juniata counties, quotations attributed to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and the National Safety Council, and a Human Cost of Liquor panel contrasting a Youth of Promise with an Alcoholic Addict. The front quotes the superintendent of the Pennsylvania Industrial School at Huntingdon; the back is headed A Gigantic and Useless Waste and closes with God's Message to Dauphin County from Habakkuk and Isaiah.

A graphic piece of late temperance-movement propaganda from Pennsylvania, of interest to collectors of Prohibition and temperance material, breweriana, and Harrisburg and Dauphin County history.
