Colleagues:
I am forwarding this message on behalf of an individual who is planning a
documentary film on Prohibition in Texas and is interested in understanding
the impact of the border and Mexico. He is aware of the U.T. Arlington
thesis, MONTE CARLO OF THE SOUTHWEST: A REINTERPRETATION
OF U.S. PROHIBITION'S IMPACT ON CIUDAD JUAREZ.
"I know in general that during Prohibition, Canada exported liquor to
Mexico, and that Canadian liquor was smuggled into the United States from
Mexico. I also know, in general, that many U.S. distillers and distributors
set up operations in Ciudad Juárez, where such operations were legal.
"But I don't know specific brand names of wine, beer, and spirits, and that
is why I am writing you. I wish to know specifically what was available in
Ciudad Juárez in October 1919, when Texas Prohibition came into effect; what
was available in January 1920, when Constitutional Prohibition began; what
was available a few years later; and what was available in April 1933, when
3.2 beer became legal in the United States."
You can contact Thomas Richardson directly at [log in to unmask] . Thanks.
