This was a different kind of disagreement between Ohio and Michigan; this had to do with where small quantities of beer were being purchased.

In this Toledo News-Bee photograph, inspectors from the Ohio Department of Liquor Control confiscated bottles of beer as they searched cars at the Ohio-Michigan state line July 27, 1935. Agent Carl Morris is at left, with Ray O’Brien, who is picking up the bottles of beer.

The News-Bee reported that agents had stopped several thousand cars over a period of a few days and warned occupants about transporting Michigan beer into Ohio. Liquor enforcement officers then shifted to confiscating bottles at the state line in Point Place.

Ohio Liquor control agents stopped 900 cars and warned occupants not to bring beer that they had purchased in Michigan into Ohio for consumption. The agents were assisted by county deputies and confiscated more than 60 bottles of beer on Edgewater Drive and the state line that Saturday night.

The agents told occupants of the vehicles that were stopped that they would continue their monitoring activities until the process of evading Ohio’s revenue taxes ceased. Ohio’s law followed the end of Prohibition in 1933, and it was meant as a way to keep the consumption of alcohol limited to that which was purchased from Buckeye State establishments.
