More Liquor Licenses For Ohio Retailers?

The article reports that the Liquor Control Commission of Ohio is considering issuing licenses to retailers who want to sell liquor in their stores. The plan is one way that Ohio can address a cost problem that is making it unprofitable to open new stores in desirable locations. It is expected that if the cost problem continues in 1948, the number of retailers selling liquor in Ohio may top the previous high figure. Some requirements for retailers to get licenses are discussed, including shouldering all sales costs.
