In Chapter 18 of “Life Behind the Counter- the Story of Chuck Evans and his Liquor Stores”, you will read about Chuck’s involvement in the frequent Glasgow and Barren Co. wet/dry elections. There were many rumors at the time about Chuck’s participation in this electoral process. In this Chapter, you will read about:
- What Chuck really thought about the wet/dry elections in Glasgow.
- The wet/dry election where most of the signatures collected on a petition drive ended up missing.
- Rumors that Chuck paid local preachers to give anti-alcohol sermons.
- Rumors that Chuck put $10,000 cash in the collection plate at the South Green Church of Christ every election.
- If Chuck really did purchase property in Glasgow just in case the wet side won.
Every wet/dry election in Glasgow brought plenty of rumors too. This chapter will shed some light upon which rumors were likely true and which ones were unlikely. In my next chapter preview to come, I’ll preview the chapter about the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant’s impact upon Chuck’s stores. Thanks for following these updates!
