His reply was: - $~%&\ "I'm for everybody ahd against nobody, because the winner can forget you, but the loser never does." When a local organization awarded a 1957 Plymouth lastj week, the winner, of all persons, was Jake Freedman of the] Sands. Everyone at thefjftffair that evening was happy, mfc be- cause Jakie needs a car, but only because he purchased more tickets than anyone else. . . Moreover/with his characteristic^ bluntness, when told he had won a car, replied; "I don't want itj give it to any worthwhile charity you can think of with my' good wishes." ||$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. One top name succeeds another as. the entertainment policy of the .Sands unfolds week after week>t^ There is good reason for this success. The Sands is the best exponent of it. 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. So, when we say "happy birthday'' we are sincerely grateful for this type of operation. Th e Sands has not only been goo# for the town, but for the ne$w papers, merchants and all others who indirectly benefit from$p?║| success of a Strip establishment It's especially gratifying to compliment file Sands on its fourth birthday, because in these days of marginal operations, this hotel is vivid proof that Las Vegas is sound. 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!
