A CHALLENGE TO “THE TRADE” TO PRODUCE A LIST OF BUSINESS MEN OF INVERCARGILL TO EQUAL THIS LIST. ONE HUNDRED AND FI FT/ LEADING BUSINESS MEN AND CITIZENS TESTIFY TO THE BENEFITS OF NO-LICENSE AND RECOMMEND IT TO OTHER ELECTORATES. (From the “Southland Times” of 21st October, 1911.) We, the undersigned citizens of Invercargill, having for between five and I six years experienced tiie benefits arising from the closing of the hotel [ liars, desire to record our appreciation of the No-liccnse law. Since the closing of the bars the moral tone of the community has improved, crime has diminished, drunkenness has decreased, legitimate business has benefited, and improved conditions generally are to he seen on every hand, while the growth and progress of the town has been greater than at any time since its foundation. We do not think the electors of Invercargill will ever revert to the old system of license, and on account of our experience we do not hesitate to commend the system of No-license to the electors of other parts of the Dominion: — William A.
