Listening Post
Before enemy bombers can strike, the keen ears of the
sound locators pick up the hum es motors, signal anti
aircraft batteries to action.
Here at home, good citizens keep their ears to the
ground, on the alert against another kind of enemy.
Every business or profession guards against him—the
unscrupulous law-breaker who poses as an honest,
legitimate business man. Georgia’s $10,000,000 beer
industry is keenly watchful for this public menace,
has developed an effective protection against him.
When unlawful conditions are reported at a retail •
beer outlet, this Committee gives warning to clean up
immediately, Unless the warning is heeded, the out
let is turned over to your law officers to close up.
Only tie ttputable beer retailer deserve*
reputable patronage. That’s bow YOU cm help,
