DAILY U.S. 17 South Joe & Ellen Hanusik Phone 335-540* A MESSAGE TO THE CITIZENS OF THETOWN OF WIN FALL On Tuesday, March 8, 1983, you will be faced with a very important issue. At this time you will be asked to choose whether or not to permit the opening of an ABC Store in the Town of Winfall. With all due respect to your personal feelings, we would like to provide you with some sound reasons for supporting this issue for the betterment of this commun ity . The major benefit from positive support of this referendum would be increased revenue for the Town of Winfall. Whereas Winfall already receives revenues from the sale of beer and wine this referendum does not cre ate a new concept, but an additional funding from a previous source. ? Additional revenues could feasibly be used to begin and support an already planned police department for the town, as well as helping to insure NO MAJOR TAX INCREASE for town residents. By placing an ABC Store within the town limits, you, the citizens of Winfall, would be able to control issues that may arise in future dealings with ABC Laws, instead of a county-rwide majority control. ? " ?? ? " ' ?' : ? ? ? ' ; As with any new business, an ABC Store would cre ate new job opportunities for local residents. - We ask you to carefully consider these facts and vote YES on March 8 for the placement of an ABC Store in the Town of Winfall.
