Appearance and use of English Language important. A MUST is no drinking habits." Strange but true. This is a part of an actual advertisement. A MUST for liquor dispensers is total abstinence, if efficiency is the objective. Plane pilots, loco- motive engineers, hockey play- ers, (if they wish to reach the big time), must curb their per- sonal liberty in this matter. Yes, even the liquor barons, makers of beer, wine and hard liquor, know the facts about indulgence and the resultant loss of effici- ency, "Wanted, bartender. A MUST—no drinking habits."— Advt.
