WHILE soldiers, sailors and marines war on Axis
gangsters overseas, we at home must be vigilant to
preserve the liberty we’re all fighting for.
To insure democracy in America, we must pledge
complete support to our law-enforcement authorities—
the Guardians of the Home Front—in their war on the
criminal minority.
Georgia’s $10,000,000 beer industry does its share—
and more! It keeps watch on the state's beer retailers,
sends an immediate, dean-up warning to the occasional
law-breaker. If this warning is ignored, the offender is
promptly turned over to law officers to be closed up.
Only reputable beer dealers deserve YOUR patronage

DID YOU KNOW?
Over 300,000 people were “out” last year, as far as
life insurance was concerned, because the various
Companies to which they applied found them to be
uninsurable. Many of these people probably could
have obtained life insurance protection if they hadn’t
waited until it was TOO LATE.
