A.B.M.P.F.

"Because of the ten-year increasing flood of anti-Prohibition propaganda which has, during recent months, almost engulfed every channel of publicity in America, without adequate challenge on the part of those who supported the 18th Amendment," Prohibitionist Charles Reading Jones of Chicago, chairman of the American Business Men's Prohibition Foundation, announced that within a year he & associates would spend $3,000,000 to insert Dry advertising in 2,668 daily newspapers, 8,000 weekly and semiweekly publications, 20 or more national magazines. The A. B. M. P. F. was incorporated last January. During the summer it started to raise $10,000,000 for Dry propaganda. Its advisory committee was then known to include such believers in Prohibition as Chainstoreman James Cash Penney, National Grange Master Louis John Taber, Authors Zane Grey and Zona Gale. Last week the organization announced a total membership of more than 2,000 businessmen scattered over 46 states. Its program had been endorsed by Chain Publisher Frank Ernest Gannett. Publisher Harry Chandler of the Los Angeles Times, Publisher William Hutchinson Cowles of the Spokane Spokesman-Review.
