Notes of Decisions

   Price Lists

   The presence and distribution of handbills inside the premises of a beer distributor do not constitute advertising, and this section is not violated when patrons remove price lists from the premises. State Police v. Case Beer & Soda Outlet, Inc., 627 A.2d 226 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993).
