Prohibition as seen by a Businessman
The businessman sees Prohibition's results, not in terms of moral issues or personal appetites, but in the dual terms of business: production and distribution. Especially noteworthy have been the effects upon production....The efficiency of the average worker was increased. Factories were more nearly able to work up to the reasonable expectation of their machine power. Instead of dulled minds, unsteady muscles, and jumping nerves after the holiday of Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the workers began the week on Monday with full power.... These factors in the business problem increased efficiency per worker, continuity of machine output due to fewer absences of workers, lowered labor turnover and fewer accidents, would have been sufficient to change the red ink [deficit] figures of loss to a substantial profit so far as production is concerned. In each of these factors, Prohibition turned the tide. Distribution is the other element in business. Products must be sold. Prohibition created new markets for our products. New standards of living were set nineteen per cent higher than when Prohibition arrived, according to Secretary [of Commerce Herbert] Hoover. Instead of a pail of beer, the worker bought oil and gasoline. Better homes, better furniture, better clothes, more amusement were demanded. The wage check that once went into the bartender's till began to travel to the local merchant.... The great mass of the people are sober, making money, buying luxuries as well as necessaries of life, banking undreamed sums, and keeping business steadily on the high plane of prosperity in spite of all the prophets of disaster.
