This Program
Speaks for Temperance
This Committee's chief aim is to maintain whole*
some conditions in places where legal beer is sold.
This is accomplished by educating beer dealers and
checking conditions in retail beer outlets . . . and
by assisting authorities to maintain high standards
of law observance.
This program of Self-Regulation, in operation since
1939, has had the noteworthy effect of weeding out
most of those who abuse their license privileges.
The beer industry's Self-Regulation Program encourages
law observance. It is a program which definitely
speaks for temperance.
