Moreover/with his characteristic^ bluntness, when told he had won a car, replied; "I don't want itj give it to any worthwhile charity you can think of with my' good wishes." ||$g% This is the motivating spirit which seems to emanate from the Sands. This is typical Sands management. Jack Entratter, the Ziegfeld of the Desert, has put on productions that would rival the best of Ziegfeld.

It has one general policy and the'^pore it spends the more people the hotel attracts, and the people who! come to the Sands are among the finest in the country.

Good management, intelligent organization and fine public relations will make any business prosper. The Sands is a monument to file soundness of Las Vegas. So to everyone at file Sands! . . . Jakie Freedman, Jack En-j tratter, Carl Cohen, Nick Kelly, j Danny Stein, Al Freeman, the! bosses and men of the casino! and to the many whose names are too numerous to mention, a very Happy Birthday. ?·*|S| May you continue to grow and prosper and the town with you!
