SHINE ON, SHINE IN - Charlie Williams, a Dublin shoe shine boy, was known for his shoe shines. Customers would line up for a good black shimmer on their shoes. One day, police noticed the line at Charlie's shoe shine stand was a little longer than usual. Upon a further investigation, the cops noticed a five-gallon can strategically hidden out of view. Every once in a while, Charlie would open the lid and give his customers a cool drink. Trouble was, the liquid inside the can was also shine, moonshine. Helena Independent Record, November 1, 1954.
