Description
This fun pictorial postcard was published in Havana, probably in the early 1920s, by Compania Litografica de la Habana. Uncle Sam is shown riding a bat to Cuba to flee the oppressive ‘Dry Laws’ posted in nearby Florida. Prohibition shut down Bacardi’s New York operations, but widespread efforts by the company to promote Cuba as a tourism destination helped boost the bottom line.
