There are new planes to be built . . . pew tanks ,.. new ships. All to bring the wav to an earlier close. Our fighting men will do their job. But we must do ours.’ And right now, the most important job we have is to meet our personal quotas in the Seventh War Loan drive! Those quotas are big. Uncle Sam needs $7,000,000,000 from individ uals. For this loan is really 2 in 1—there had been 2 drives in 1944, by this time. So now—we’ve got to do a two-loan job in one. din But Americans have never failed to meet a War Bond quota yet—and we won’t fail now! So find out what your quota is—and meet it! FIND YOUR QUOTA . . .

We do take our responsibilities very seriously and try to do the right thing with every body. In spite of it, we get criticized now and then.” OLD JUDGE: “ I know . •. you’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet in times like these. Speaking of criticism, and I mean really unfair criticism, reminds me of the spirit beverage business.” FRANK: "How is that. Judge?” OLD JUDGE: "Simply this...can you think of any other business in which the seller is responsible for what the buyer does with his merchandise? If a person eats too much cake and gets indigestion, the baker isn’t blamed. Nor is the coffee merchant criticized if someone drinks too much coffee and can’t sleep. But the seller of spirit bev erages gets blamed plenty if one of his cus tomers overindulges. Doesn't seem quite fair, does it, Tom?” TOM: "Frankly, it doesn’t. Judge. We’ve never looked at it that way before.” This adrer! »semen! sponsor rW W Conference of Alcoholic Beteroge Industries. Inc. 4
