Federal attorneys and investiga-

remarkable corporation that deals
i'll illegal liquor but does its bust,

China, England, France and

legal part to be sure, but il has been
shown that most Of the genuine Ii

Canada permits no whiskey to be
exported that is less than two years

There are a number of distinct adj

the personal signature being trans

there can be no question of its au-

about the accuracy of the message,
and third, the special equipment used
insures that none but the desired sta

The foregoing advantages are off
