Thousands of Johs
in
South Carolina
Depend on Legal Beer
Yes?and thousands of South Carolina merchants
and home industries benefit from the
legalized beer industry's $3,400,000 annual
payroll to South Carolinians.
' Beer also makes other contributions to our
state's welfare. For instance, it pays taxes
and license fees amounting to approximate- j
ly $1,008,970 annually. This money is allocated
to the School Aid Fund and to the 46
counties and their cities and towns.--1
Thus, legalized beer provides jobs for 3,000
South Carolinians, helps maintain the jobs
of others and eases the tax burden of all! !
