anti-salooner

Updated: May 21, 2025

Probably the longest sign in California is that one which reads "Drive your fool heads off." "Booze-fighters" are Western. Oh, they're Eastern too, but under a different name. It's a misleading term, that. As though one were fighting against booze like an anti-salooner. I actually know of a woman who came West and thought for or a long time that a "booze-fighter" was a "Dry."
