It promotes Leslie's Weekly magazine's April 15 issue, highlighting their "What Do You Think of Prohibition?" questionnaire that solicited public opinion on National Prohibition (the 18th Amendment, in effect 1920-1933). The text notes that Samuel Hopkins Adams, a respected observer of American life, analyzed these responses in an article for that issue. Other features mentioned include Theodore Waters' "Brokers and Breakers" series and a new "Radio Department" conducted by William H. Easton, Ph.D. The copy emphasizes Leslie's Weekly as a serious publication covering contemporary debates and modern topics, advertising single copies at 10 cents or yearly subscriptions at five dollars.

What About Prohibition? HERE are two sides to every question. Take National Prohibition, for instance. From all parts of the country letters have reached Leslie’s Weekly in response to its Questionnaire: “What Do You Think of Prohibition?” These letters express a wide variety of views on both sides of the liquor question and comprise in the aggregate an interesting and illuminating cross-section of public opinion on one of the most engrossing topics of the day. Samuel Hopkins Adams, who is famous as an observer of American life, has made an impartial survey and analysis of the results of this Prohibition Questionnaire and has embodied his observations in a striking article in Leslie’s Weekly for April 15. This number of Leslie’s also contains other absorbing features. For ex- ample, there is the second installment of Theodore Waters’ notable series— “Brokers and Breakers’’—in which he reveals to you the inner workings of the present-day stock swindling rings. Also, there is another gripping short story on the further adventures of the great Black Pearl, by Atreus von Schrader. By the way, are you reading the new Radio Department in Leslie’s? It is conducted by William H. Easton, Ph.D., a noted authority on the subject, and contains from week to week a wealth of interesting and helpful infor- mation about America’s latest furore. These are only a few of the corking features of Leslie’s Weekly for April 15. There are plenty more. Remember, you can buy Leslie’s from any good newsdealer for 10 cents a copy, or have it delivered every Thursday at your home as a regular subscriber for Five Dollars a year. a comicbooks.com
