If a gin sells well in a few places, for a few
weeks, it’s generally good gin. But when ANY gin
leads ALL others for MONTHS in the ENTIRE
Territory, then you have found the ultimate gin—
OLD MR.'BOSTON DRY GIN. For such is its
~ proud, enviable record.
Give the credit to the gin itself. Here’s no
mere juniper-gin. Oh no! Crystal-clear Old Mr.
Boston Dry Gin is a happy, successful blend of six
teen world wide ingredients. It’s a versatile,
». friendly gin, and mixes deliciously with bitters,
vermouth, lime or lemon, soda or ginger ale. It
lifts a cocktail or fizz or rkkey to a veritable work
of art. Or you can drink it deliciously straight,
for it’s as smooth as old brandy. It’s suave, and
with a delightful, quietly-interesting flavor.
Ask for, and insist on, Old Mr. Boston Dry
Gin.—

PWA Provides
Three Million
Hours Of Work
Ickes, in Review of Work in Past
Year, Cites Enormous Allotments
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., — More
than three billion hours of employ
ment have been provided by the
PWA, not including the enormous
amount of CWA. CCC and adminis
trative work financed by public
works allotments.
A year-end review of public works
activities reported to Administrator
Harold L. Ickes, also reveals that:
1. Expenditures on all phases of
the public works program exceed 2
billion dollars.
2. With the beginning of a new
year 9100 projects have been com
I pleted, 7600 are under construction
j and 2800 others have received allot -
j ments and will be underway before
long.
3. Virtually all funds at its dispos
al, with the exception of what is
derived from operat|on of the revolv
i ing funds and changes in allotments,
| have been allocated.
4 PWA has cleared its decks for
action and can launch in short or
| der whatever new program the Pres
j ident recommends and congress ap
proves.
Of the two billion dollars which
has been spent out of the $3,700,000,
000.00 appropriation, one and one
fourth billion dollars has been spent!
on construction projects alone. This
relates to three billion dollars of
PWA financed construction, and in
cludes approxipiately two hundred
and ninety four million dollars rais
ed by borrowers.
Statisticians Compile Data
The estimate as to man-hours of
employment created by the PWA
j program thus far was given the
i administrator by the division of eco
nomics and statistics which has just
completed a study of the best data
obtainable from the United States
bureau of labor statistics and en
gineer-inspectors of the PWA field
organization.
Taking into consideration work
produced as a result of allotments
for federal and non-federal construc
tion projects, including TVA and re
lief highways work, but not work
provided by CWA and CCC, it was
estimated that up to the end of 1934
something in the neighborhood of
3,005,964,659 man-hours of labor al
ready have been used.
An analysis of this figure has show
ed 642,329,759 man-hours of direct
labor on construction sites. Novem
ber and December 1934 estimated on
actual figures for previous months.
The estimated man-hours or indirect
labor, the principal source of employ
ment attributable to public works,
was 2,363,634,900
Indirect employment, or “behind
the lines” work created by direct
site employment, embraces the
hundreds of thousands of workers:
engaged in mines, quarries, forests,
mills, factories and manufacturing—:
in short, all persons employed in
producing and transporting building
materials and supplies necessary for
the construction of public works pro
jects. Their expenditure, in turn,
create additional employment in oth
er industries and businesses.
Seven Million Aided
The gainful employment of some
two millicn persons can be traced
to public works expenditures. This
means that approximately seven mil
lion inclusive of dependents of those!
gainfully employed are receiving i
benefits directly and indirectly from
the PWA program.
Discussing the beneficial effects of
public works in spreading indirect
employment, the national resources
board's recent report to the Presi
dent urging establishment of the,
public works administration on a
permanent basis, said: “there can be!
no doubt that the expenditure of
public funds, if wisely planned,
starts a series of processes favorable!
either to the cumulative growth of .
employment outside of the construc
tion industry, or to the reduction of
commodity stocks and the liquida
tion of outstanding debts ”
Cities, States Helped
The year just ended was marked i
by real advances in construction, '
progress in the federal field being;
more pronounced than on the non-!
federal side with the exception of
railroad work financed by public
works loans. As compared to some
types of projects those resulting
from loans to municipalities have
been slower because of restrictive;
state legislation and other legal diffi
culties encountered. With the in-!
vited assistance of PWA, however,
many states have enacted laws;
which facilitate borrowing from the
federal government for public
works and other states are planning
new legislation along similar lines!
The housing division, re-organiz
ed by the administrator last June,;
has been pushing its one hundred,!
and fifty thousand slum-clearance
and low rent housing campaign with
vigor. Considerable progress al
ready has been made toward acqui
sition of suitable sites, the most dif
ficult phase in this part of the pro
gram, but the administrator is con- !
fident that spring will witness fur- 1
ther activity on this front.
