What does 'no takers' mean?
I am translating an article about history of rum in the USA and can not understand the meaning of 'no takers'
Context is as following:
....
1861 to 1865 Union Soldiers confiscate Louisiana rum and destroy stills during war
1898 - advertising of distilling equipment and articles written to attract sugar mill owners – no takers

"No takers" is a neat little phrase that means "no-one who took the opportunity". (In this case, the offer of distilling equipment.)
