This book, passed by the 1st session of the 74th United States Congress and signed into law in 1935, was designed to regulate the distilled spirits industry in the wake of Prohibition. It created the Federal Alcohol Administration to oversee the industry, and to ensure fair competition and prevent unlawful practices. The act also included provisions to protect revenue, enforce the 21st Amendment, and regulate interstate and foreign commerce of alcoholic beverages. The provisions of the act included measures to prevent unfair competition and unlawful practices through the regulation of exclusive outlets, tied houses, commercial bribery, and consignment sales. Labeling requirements were established to provide consumers with accurate information about the products they were purchasing, and advertising regulations were implemented to prevent false or misleading statements. The act also addressed tax issues, such as the imposition of a tax on wine fortified with citrus fruit brandy. In addition to regulating the industry, the act sought to protect revenue and enforce the 21st Amendment by prohibiting the sale of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages without a basic permit issued by the Administrator. Overall, the act aimed to establish a comprehensive framework for the regulation of the distilled spirits industry, with a focus on protecting consumers, promoting fair competition, and enforcing the law.
