During Prohibition, licensed pharmacists occupied a unique legal position, as they were permitted to handle limited quantities of alcohol for medicinal purposes under strict federal and state regulation. The operation, cancellation, and bonding of liquor permits generated extensive paperwork, including sworn affidavits documenting inventories, compliance, and disposition of controlled stock. Surviving documents from this system provide direct insight into the regulatory mechanisms of the era and the practical realities faced by local businesses.
Executed as a sworn affidavit before a notary public, the document states that all liquor on hand had been disposed of under permit Ky-L-411 and formally requests cancellation of the firm’s bond. The affidavit itemizes remaining alcohol inventory, listing quantities of alcohol, whisky, and wine, and bears the signature of Jake N. Saloshin as well as the embossed notary seal of Fayette County Kentucky. The letterhead includes business addresses, telephone numbers, and period typography consistent with early twentieth-century pharmaceutical trade correspondence.
