have worked together continuously
since their air debut, travelled nearly
twenty thousand miles together in
Canada, been the two-thirdsof sever-
al vocal trios and never had a misun
derstanding. They have always writ-
ten their own arrangements, but as
Alf is the business brains, he decided

ing and it has worked out to every-
body's advantage; Besides being two-
thirds of the "Fashionaires" (Frances,
Ackert is the soprano of the trio) Alf

with regular priced Blue Sunoco purchased by a C.A.A. official
from a Blue Sunoco dealer of his own choice. The second of each
pair of cars was filled with one of four leading brands of extra priced
