The list is dated 1 June 1937. I counted 56 establishments that sold some sort of cereal malt beverage (beer)! That seems like a lot considering that when I went to Ancestry.com and just put in “Kansas, Saline, Salina” it showed 20,211 people living in Salina in 1930. That figures out to one dealer for every 360 people living in Salina at that time.
