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comparing the situation in the United States with that of other countries and concluding that prohibition should be repealed for tax revenue, as well as social reasons. | | | | Call #: | MS 4294 | | | | Extent: | 0.10 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | The Crusaders, Inc. | Prohibition -- United States. | Liquor laws -- United States.
