BESTstorekeeper I ever knew was a
fellow named Sam Abernethy.
Sam's specialty was to take over
some run-down store that some
body else had given up as a failure.
Then Sam would turn it into a gold
mine.
"But the most important thing
of all," he used to say, "is to re
member who's Boss!"
"You may think you are Boss of
your business . . . but you're not.
The Public, your customers, are the
real bosses . . . and you've got to
run your business the way they
want it."
That little statement of Sam's
made a big impression on me . . .
particularly since it certainly
seemed to work so well in Sam's
case.
And Sam isn't the only one. I
see the beer industry feels the
same way . . . certainly, the brew
ers believe in running their busi
ness the way you and I would like
to see it run.
Folks like us like to see beer
sold in clean, quiet, decent places.

Omaha, supervisor of agricultural

om where I sit . . .
Well ... the brewers feel the same
way about it. They don't want their
beer sold in wrong surroundings.
They know it doesn't pay. And they
know it hurts the good name of
beer.
I was reading the other day how
the brewers and the beer distribu- ,
tors work together and cooperate
with law enforcement authorities.
The idea is to make careless beer
retailers clean up their places and
practices ... or close up.
It's a good plan . . . and it seems
to me it ought to work. I under
stand it is already in operation in
a number of states and is being
extended.
It's a mighty fine thing when a
great industry has the gumption
to do a job like that on its own
initiative. And if Sam Abernethy
was right, the brewers should be
mighty successful . . . because
they're running their business the
way the public wants to see it run.
