I'll begin again at the point where I started making makinI whisk whisky It I do say so 10 myself m my whisk whisky was clean clan and I soon found that I had a ready rady market Busl Busi- Business ness expanded dall dally until I found I needed other plants to supply 1 ply 1 the trade In addition to the big still I ran myself I bought three thre more and hired men to operate them I rent rent- rented r ed three houses house right In the tho cIty and had four stills going at high speed Ipe Money rone began to roll In as I sold In wholesale lots only to patios p such as s I nm ant In now Rooming houses soon began to lug III for tor my and once In awhile I would take a load up on the thc hill hili to pretty good families Profits were as high as 80 80 a day all In cash and I soon began to tel feel like a 1 millionaire I purchased chased two additional cars tort t rt purposes purpose and II a new large car for my wife wICe and my my- felt sett Sty My wife Ite had been opposed to the business at the start but when she had II a few tew diamonds I a new car and realized I nod nad been In tot rOI nearly a year without being caught her arguments began to get gel less les frequent and nd finally ceased liE WAS W GENEROUS I was sitting on top ot of the world and had began to think bootlegging was the bIg way to snake money Of course I had give ghe away a lot of whisky friends who I thought might hell heIr me should I ever fall faU Into thE clutches of the law but I dill did cheerfully and ond gladly as there then were ere plenty ot of profits Many rany times I hauled kegs the homes ot of men some of there them pretty prett high up for tor policy sake salce asking nothIng but their and ard help should I ever need It And let me say Y rIght here some Forno of them were not backward In asking for tor it H when their got low Up Up until this time I had drank myself to any ny great extent for tor I decided that whisk whisky and mak lug It didn't ml mix But Dut friends cameto to the house from time to time aftel after tel ter they found I always had It on hand and of course I had to join In be surprised at thE of company you OU get your new and old friends find yOcan can always alwa's rake them lip up as much muchas as they want to drink It they happen pen n to drive around The They Inv In- eluded some pretty good company too and n of c course e I r realized d tl p would I never e r visit s me e if my wag not an oasIs of liquor e TO It I dont don't like to say It but I 1 am flaw convinced that these thelle frIends were the beginning of m my tumble downward They first came to have a a. friendly tree free drink at the house But theIr visits became se 80 often that they felt tolt embarrassed to gel gt It tree free and they began askIng log Ing that I sell It to them In lots I I had made a 0 rule rulo neVEr to sell It from th the house and I told them SQ so I also knew that their for tor me to sell It to them In small lots los was n a blurt bluff for tor them to It tree free for they could have gone to any soft drink parlor downtown and bought a 1 pInt or two But I took care ot of them like g gentleman handing It t out like and hoping nil all the time that I would not get caught but It I 1 e c ever r did I would woul have their help My Iy house was In a good neighborhood and It dId not take lone for the neighbors to begIn to talk about the thc sudden manner In which I had become popular Sometimes there would be a any r. as ten cars drive e up to the house hous park a few tew minutes and then drive off ott all In on an evening these se machined machine ranged from ex- ex expensive pensive closed cars to 10 flivvers ell eil you can realize J if I took n a nip or two with each ench of m friends how much the tho total con gumption would be for me during the night So It wasn't long foro the sunshine In the didn't look ISO so good after orter the moonshine shine at night The next thing found was to take a morning bracer ecer to steady my nerves The neighbors were wera very cry len len- nt I and put up with II a lot IY friends frends became more friendly and some ot of them couldn't be satisfied with visiting me once
