CHALLENGE THESE STATEMENTS ! rpHE opponents of No-License J- who dare not come out into the open, are spreading baseless reports of what dire financial calamity will happen to Foxton if No-I,iceuse is carried. WHAT ARE THE FACTS ? Foxton spends annually in liquor, at the lowest computation, <£7s°oThe Borough gets back in revenue from liquor ,£l6B ! Who gets the balance ? Perhaps the tied house magnates will answer this question ! MEN AND WOMEN, What can you show in return for this enormous annual expenditure ? Don’t you think your money could be spent to belter advantage in groceries, clothing, boots and shoes, installing gas, or to assist in purchasing a home of your own ? THINK THE MATTER OVER ! And don’t be influenced by the illogical arguments and foolish statements made by the the “Trade.” YOU SPEND £7'>oo TO GET BACK £1(58 And plenty of sore-head and misery to others. Don’t you think it’s about time you woke up and voted the Liquor out ? RISE IN RATES And depreciation of property if No-License is carried, is the cry of the “Trade,” with tears in its voice, but did it ever remind you of the money Foxton wastes by pouring poison down its throat, and getting nothing in return ? The rise in rates is a bogey. REMEMBER! You do not close the hotels by voting No-License. You only stop the sale of Liquor on those premises, which will be utilised for the accommodation of travellers, and not merely as drinking shops, VOTE FOR FOXTON’S PROSPERITY BY STRIKING OUT THE TOP LINE.
