New York, July 17. P) The stock market dropped back into the doldrums today after an early attempt to resume an ad vance fizzled. When the rally maneuver struck a snag, traders who had bought on the upturn in the previous session, hurried to lighten holdings. Gains of many issues changed into net declines of fractions to more than a point, but some held part of the ad vantage to the finish. Transac tions approximated 375,000 shares. Down most of the session were United States Steel. Bethlehem, Westinghouse, Du Pont, Chrys ler, Douglas, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Loft, Western Union, American Can and Santa Fe. J. I. Case spurted 2 ',4 on a single transaction. Also higher most of the time were Allied Chemical, Consolidated Edison, Caterpillar, Union Carbide and U. S. Rubber. A rise ins bonds tapered into a narrow sidewise market. Today's closing prices for 33 leeted stocks folio: I IT'S AIL IN THE MAKING dj k, rl BLENDED 33 TIMES TO MAKE ONE GREAT BEER! It's the happy blending of 33 separata brews lor lha en flavor thai has won America, Coast lo Coast I QUESTION Aren't popular Eastern oils better than 'RPM'?" ANSWER Definitely NOt How an oil is made is more important than where it comes from. "RPM" is made by costly process never before used. It has all the good fea tures of the best Eastern oils-pus STANDARD OIL COMPANY OP CALIFORNIA AMERICA'S PREMIER MOTOR Oil 25 A QUART PABST Blue Ribbon Is served in more homes at more parties and picnics than any other beer. And the reason? It takes not one, not five, or twelve ... but 33 separate brews from 33 separate kettles, to make a single glass. Each brew is as fine as choicest ingredients and Pabst's 96 years of expe rience can make it. Then all 33 brews are brought together in perfect balance. An expensive way to brew? Of course! It's like blending champagne, coffee or tobacco to produce the finest. And that's what makes it America's premium -beer, with a smoothness that is unique . . . and a good ncss that never varies.
