3-Way Responsibility
In maintaining its existing high standard of liquor law enforce
ment, the Nebraska Liquor Commission carries out its respon
sibility to our citizens.
In co-operating closely with the Commission through a sell
policing program which aims to have beer sold under condi
tion* as wholesome as beer itself, our industry carries out its
acknowledged social responsibility to our citizens.
In avoiding the comparatively few retail outlets which permit
anti-social conditions, and in patronizing the thousands of law
abiding outlets, our citizens carry out their responsibility to
themselves by thus further protecting their equity in Nebraska’s
$30,000,000 beer industry.
