WHISKY AND “PRACTICAL WORK"

The wine and Spirit Gazette says: ‘‘lt is proper to state in this connection that the Wholesale Liquor-dealers’ Association was induced to join the State association two years ago at the urgent request of Mr. Max D. Stern, who was at that time the Financial Secretary of the State association. Mr. Stern represented that the State association had been organized for practical, work, hut was not overstrong. that it needed help and had a hard struggle to keep above water, and that it required the assistance and active co-operation of all men who were interested in the liquor business in order to carry out the purposes for which it was organized and mate its influence felt, and that a union of the Wholesale Liquor-dealers’ Association with the State association would certainly impart strength and standing to the State association, which it lacked, and would largely increase the power and influence of the latter organization. The matter was debated pro and con by the Wholesale Liquor-dealers’ Association and a motion was finally passed to join the State association.
