To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is particularly true of the dis- tribution of liquor, beer, and wine, on which series of high internal revenue and local license taxes were levied, which required refrigeration when served to the consumer, which involved charges for "protec- tion, " graft, and politics, and which brought profits to saloon-keepers that were usually the envy of neighboring candy stores and grocers. Starting first from the point of view of quantity produced, and recalling the figures given in Table I, we see ...a huge total of 2, 252, 272, 265 gallons of liquor, wine, and beer sold at retail in 1914. To arrive at retail cost one must figure into how many drinks a gallon of whiskey could be made, when sold in small glasses over the bar, how many orders were served per gallon of beer or wine, and what each order brought. This in turn requires an estimate of the proportion of alcoholic beverages distributed in, larger containers, such as quarts or gallons. We, ourselves, are not equal to the task, but fortu- nately some light is thrown on this by others who have attempted it.
