WE'RE SPEAK[N6 OF
ThousAnds of Canadian boys—sons, brothers, husbands—
are returning from the wars—returning to 'what' promises to be a happy
tomorrow ... a tomorrow that many gave their lives to bring about.
A tomorrow that may be held back if immoderate or unessential
spending brings about inflation ... if our desires are not confined
to temperate limits ...if the many, strange ideas and
philosophies that are with us today are not carefully considered
and moderated to suit our needs and way of living.
The real enjoyments and full pleasures of gracious living are possible
only to the man who practices moderation—in everything he does.
The House of Seagramsuggests that we think of tomorrow—
and be moderate in all we do.
