The Retailer's Big Job
We saw a clever cartoon in a na

Jt showeel a., bespeckled little map|“aSsafidity”'' around our necks to
wearing the tag, “Retailer,” peering ward off diseases. (That was com-

committee of mastenninds (bureau

duction in several major industries
has been destroyed by strikers who
refusa*' to work. Nothing could serve
i-s a better reminder of the fact that
the retailer is the. sparkplug of ac

move the products of industry into
the homes of consumers, there will
be precious little production and few
jobs.
The retail distribution industry
recognizes the role it must play in
making possible maximum, produc-
pulsory, regardless of the odor. Did
you ever smell asafoetida?) Our
meals might have had some vitamins
and calories in them, but they never
bothered us.

The only worries we had were
caused by stoae^bruises, stubbed
toes, bumps j aip scars from falling
out of fi^es, ami occasionally a touch
of eczema. If whooping cough over

and went right no. Measles slowed us
down for a few days, but everybody
had to have these two diseases, so
we thought.
