NOTE—From time to time, in this space, there will appear an article which we hope will be of interest to our fellow Americans. This is number nine of a serics. SCHENLEY INTERNATIONAL CORP., NEW YORK Synonyms Common'usage is greatly respon- gible for new words entering our dic- tionary, and advertising is largely responsible for common usage. For instance, in the camera and in the phonograph fields, there are | two names which have virtually be- | come synonyms for products manu- factured in their respective indus- tries. And, you will frequently hear a housewife mention a well-known trade name when discussing elec- tric refrigerators—without actually meaning that particular make. These names, through common us- age, are fast becoming general. | |ticularly in the continental south and west, the term Bourbon has | | become almost synonymous with whiskey—American whiskey. In the far west, you rarely hear the word, | whiskey. You hear two words— Bourbon for American whiskey, and | Scotch for foreign. | On the eastern seaboard, by the same token, the term Rye is used | instead of Bourbon—again a syn- onym for American whiskey. ‘ Surveys have proven that a man | who asks for Bourbon in the west, or Rye in the east, is not necessarily conscious of the grains which are predominant ingredients in those whiskies. He just mentions Bourbon, or Rye, because of common usage of those terms in their respective terri- tories. g - | This writer has frequently heard people say in the east, I like that XYZ Rye, and in the west, I like that XYZ Bourbon. And yet that particular blended whiskey has neither Bourbon nor Rye dominant flavor characteristics. It does have a flavor that appeals to the American taste, because of skillful blending of a number of whiskies which may, basically, be Rye or Bourbon, or both. If you have found a blended whis- key that makes your particular taste buds happy, ask for it by name. If you merely say, “Giveme a Rye,"” or “Give me a Bourbon,” your dis- penser will take you literally be- cause he always tries to give you just what you ask for. If you ask for blended whiskey — you’ll get it! And, apsopos of blends, a friend of ours recently asked, when we were discussing this subject, “You know the greatest blend of all?” He an- swered his own question. “It is | America and it territories—a blend | of the cream of the crop of many nations.” And who can disagree with that?
