AGAINST the cunning of the saboteur is matched the
greater cunning of our military and civil law en
forcement agencies. Every minute, day and night, the
relentless hunt for enemy agents goes on.
But Axis agents are not our only enemies here at
home. Equally destructive are those who, posing as
reputable business men, are every day sabotaging our
industries, undermining morals, jeopardizing liberties.
When such offenders are found in Georgia’s $10,000,000
beer industry, they are dealt with quickly, effectively.
First, a clean-up warning from this Committee; then,
unless the warning is heeded, a close-up order by law
enforcement authorities.
Only reputable beer dealers deserve YOUR patronage
