(27840) Prohibition, Detroit, 1919

Men line up outside of a liquor store to purchase alcohol in the days prior to the start of Prohibition.

Sign reads: "The Last Call - The time is getting shorter and so is our stock. Buy now or you'll be without it. Bye Bye. We carry the most complete (?) high grade liquors in the city."
