1Title:  Crusaders, Inc., Report     
 Creator:  Crusaders, Inc. 
 Dates:  ca. 1931 
 Abstract:  Founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1929, The Crusaders, Inc., was an anti-prohibition group that campaigned for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution through popular mass education. The Crusaders were led by Fred G. Clark and several young Cleveland businessmen and claimed to have chapters in 100 cities. They sponsored radio debates and political candidates. The collection consists of a report on the effectiveness of the banning of alcohol, comparing the situation in the United States with that of other countries and concluding that prohibition should be repealed for tax revenue, as well as social reasons.
