Whisky, Tact

A famous Scotch whiskey distillery ran an advertisement: "So long as American and other export markets are willing to pay extra for quality we must prefer to sell for exportation."

British newspapers recommended the report of His Majesty's Trade Commissioner as being "more tactful." The report, published in The Board of Trade Journal, said in part: "Bermuda and the Bahamas are enjoying exceptional prosperity at present owing to their tourist traffic and other resultants from proximity to the United States."
