"Withthewargoingon, Frank, we've got to expect those things.

It's true of luxuries Just as it is of necessities. Take whiskey. for example. There's a real shortage in that. It's to be expected when you realize there hasn't been a drop of it distilled in this country since way back in October, 1942.

"The only thing distillers have been making during that time is war-alcohol for the Government. So, I wasn't surprised a bit to read how bootlegging and black markets have sprung up around the, country as a resultof thedwindling supply. Our 13 years of prohibition proved that if folks can't get legal whiskey, they'llget illicit whiskey. Sure hope the shortage doesn't last too long. I'd hate to see this country turned over to the bootleggers again." CET A'Smart New YOU! Well-Dressed Men Rely on Season after Season Tkii mbrrtismenl ttmaorcd by of Alcoholic BtMrafc Inbatria.
