phrase they used -- were give

kept well stocked with their mer-
chandiSe.
But the products OF distillers
who had been given a rcd light, :"
and where in disfavor. were held
in the warehouses and reached the
shelves Of liquor stores in dribbles
Sometimes a distiller who had
been given a green light" would
drop from favor and the light
would turn red in the warehouses
Other times the reverse would
happen, they testified.
Both Ehrmann and w @ b b r

of Fitzgerald and Dickinson. the
vendors in good standing were
Hiram Walker and Sons and its
subsidiaries, the Schenley Prod

Mohawk and Arrow companies of
Detroit.
The stop order was up most
OF these months against the Sea
gram Distillery and the Calvert
Distillery. the two former COM

Both said they did not know
whether Mckay was collecting
money from the whisky firms
when he manipulated the diStribu-

analysis
you must be prepared" she says to these
women ito find a job increasinly hard to hold
after the fateful age of 40 Face facts; prepare
for them and you'll be doubly armed. Here
suggestions:
L. No matter how you think your job, some day
you must be let out. This inevitable. Make plans for
this day
2 If you are 40 and have worked in store
office, you will find very difficult to get position
you can't find job why not think of going into busi
ness for yourself?
g. Anayze your aptitudes. Do you like people, or
things? In other words should you seek work which will
bring you in contact with other people should work
something where your does not depend get
ting along with others
L. Have you sales ability? Then look for something
you SELL
s. Watch your personal appearance. Some women,

If you apply for job face squarely Try to sell
