Prohibition in Littletown
Norton, William W. | April 30, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

Littletown is one of the northeastern townships of New York State. It lies close to the foothills of a prominent and popular mountain section and boasts a population of some 1,200 souls. As far back as January 1920, it was discovered that the legal fermentation of fruit juices provided a real measure of practical farm relief. During the first year of the big drought the manufacture of hard cider and elderberry, rhubarb, and dandelion wines increased by leaps and bounds; many a dirt farmer, whose former indulgence was limited to a glass or two of cool lager on rather infrequent market trips to near-by towns, now takes the precaution to stock his cellar with beverages that grow in strength as winter comes.
