A chemist, employed by the government was assigned the task of analyzing the alcohol samples in the bottles that were purchased.

At least the bootleggers in Minot were supplying their customers with a god product, not watered down. Picture is of the sign that was placed on any businesses caught selling illegal alcohal.
