William Jameson & Co., Ltd. is smart, swart Lionel Marks. Last year Mr. Marks observed that during Prohibition the taste for malty Irish whiskey seemed to have dwindled away in the U. S., sought co-operation of National Distillers to get Jameson's consumed somehow.

A basic tenet of their theory is that a man must first sell himself to them. Only then can they introduce and describe their marketable product to the prospective employer. Every conceivable way of facilitating alumni employment is used. Personal conferences, the discovery of interests, the compilation of information, the arrangement of interviews between "scouts" and students, the inspection of various plants: these are but some of the more routine matters to which the Office attends...
