Paraphrase checked against searchable text and the rendered PDF sheets 169–170 on 2026-08-27; PDF-sheet pagination, not print pagination. Reader crosswalk 2026-09-16: actual source heading or distinctive passage opening verified in supplied text. Original internal PDF sheets 169–170. No printed-page equivalence asserted. Descriptive passage locators are not invented chapter titles. Fresh full-source audit: corrected chronology so the pre-Prohibition racist example is not assigned to post-Repeal advertising. Sheets169–170 support attributed interpretation; pictured Four Roses ad is not the racist Paul Jones example. Historical and causal claims remain uncorroborated.
