For a time he was given a job assisting Rodman Wanamaker take care of the Widow Harding's affairs. When she died, he went with Mr. Wanamaker to the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Commission (1926). Finally President Coolidge unobtrusively tucked him away into the U. S. Shipping Board, as assistant to James Caldwell Jenkins, vice president of Merchant Fleet Corp. Last week George Christian gladly resigned that place. Samuel Ungerleider, who a month ago resigned from the brokerage firm of Fenner, Beane & Ungerleider to become president of Distillers and Brewers Corp. of America, made a position for him in the sales department of Distillers & Brewers. Distillers & Brewers, a $7,500,000 corporation formed in August, has a distillery in Jersey City, another in Peoria, breweries in Ohio and Pennsylvania, importing connections with most important wine and liquor regions in Europe. It plans to market on a national scale practically every known type of alcoholic drink. If its ambitious program is carried out there will be plenty of room in its selling organization for George Christian's abilities.
