g/,c AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL JANUARY 1945 THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGEf The popularity of American products in many world markets may at least in part be attributed to the wholehearted cooperation of America’s diplomatic and consular representatives abroad. This reflects not only conscious effort on their part, but the great power of their example. Schenley appreciates your patronage of its products—not merely because your prestige impresses our foreign prospects and customers and means better business for us, but also because we are genuinely proud to serve the distinguished group of men and women to which you belong. We would like to call your particular attention to Schenley Reserve —a true American whiskey of the finest quality.
