Tate Spaulding interview, May 22, 1989.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/780189833

These interviews focus on industry and community reaction to the closing of distilleries during Prohibition. Industry workers and executives, their relatives, local historians, and other residents discuss the economic consequences of Prohibition: the impact on other businesses, unemployment, and the loss of billions of dollars to the federal government in taxes. Although there was decline in living standards most distillers had farms to fall back on, and few faced great hardship. Other topics include bootlegging, the tolerant and protective attitudes of the community, the police, judges, and religious leaders; and temperance groups, which were not very active in the area.
