In 1933 the 21st Amendment to the Constitution repealed the earlier constitutional prohibition against liquor, wine, and strong beer. In 1935 the Hummers branched-out from their traditional occupations of farming, carpentry, and shoemaking and opened a "night club." This poster advertises the grand opening of their club, the "Hummer." Volume II of the family history details how the infamous John DILLENGER Gang spent an evening drinking there. AND how the body of one of their gang was found in a burned-out car in the parking lot the next morning. This reads like a fiction novel, but it is true.
