Here's a short comic book pamphlet from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the Internal Revenue Service, warning merchants to beware of people buying too much sugar. Sugar is a vital ingredient in the making of moonshine liquor. The moonshine business is run by organized crime so behind every hillbilly and a still is a crime boss who is making big bucks while not paying taxes -- so pay the taxes for him! At least that's the gist of this government pamphlet.
There are still moonshiners out there, but the need for this propaganda is long gone. ( My father-in-law, newly married and going to school on the GI Bill, had a chance to drive moonshine in Georgia. My mother-in-law put her foot down and nixed the whole idea. I sometimes wonder how things would have turned out if she didn't.)
Enjoy this 'True Story of Moonshine."
