SELF-PORTRAIT BY REMBRANDT
In one of his masterpieces, Rembrandt
painted his wife, Saskia, and himself enjoy
ing a drink. Could it have been Heineken's,
which in his days was already being served
in Leyden, Rembrandt's home town?
GLIMPSES OF AMSTERDAM
The Travel Agent)
A MSTERDAM, the capital of the
Netherlands, is the Venice of
northern Europe. The city with its
dozens of canals which divide it into
more than 100 small islands, with its
old 17-century mansions, its huge
warehouses, its beautiful churches
and famous museums, but also the
city of beautiful parks laid out be
tween roomy new building areas, of
striking modern architecture. Amster
dam, the city which for so many
Americans is synonymous with the
Netherlands; the city which is so en
tirely different from that world capi
tal across the ocean to which it orig
inally gave its name; Amsterdam,
nonchalantly displaying its eternal
charm, awaits the eager tourist who is
sure to find what he expects and who
will be surprised to discover so much
more of interest to him.
We think that the capital of the
Netherlands is probably the most
modest city in the world: it hides its
most important part, the essence of its
being, under the ground. Amsterdam
is built on piles, without them there
would be no Amsterdam. (For the
Heineken's family it is nice to know
that Heineken's Beer is sold every
where in this beautiful town.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Mr. K. S. Goldenberg of Old
Peoria Company, our Minneapolis,
Minnesota, distributor, sends us an
excerpt from a letter received from
his brother.
"We had planned to leave on Wednesda
nite from Paris, but I hit a snag with my dis
cussions and we were held over. Thereupon
we decided to go to Amsterdam and return
to Israel via KLM, the Dutch airline. So on
Friday we flew to Holland, a ride of 1 '4
hours and arrived in time for dinner. We
spent 2 days in Holland in sightseeing-Am-
sterdam with its canals and old interesting
sections and buildings, its Rembrandt museum
and its wonderful restaurants, and hiring a
car the 2nd day for a ride to the farm country
where the people still wear the old picturesque
costumesHaarlem, the tulip center, though
we were too early for the tulipsLeiden, the
university townand The Hague with its
Court of International Justice and other fine
public buildings. We passed thru the rose
section of Holland where we saw miles and
miles of glass hot-houses; and we saw more
water than any country has a right to have.
I couldn't help thinking of Israel with its
parched Negev and arid areas that cry out for
water. While we found the Dutch a very
plain looking people, we found them warm,
pleasant and hospitable. They are industrious,
and forever cleaning windows, streets, side
walks or anything else that might possibly
get dirty.
"Much of the beautiful land that we saw
under cultivation was reclaimed from the
sea by draining and dikes, and the process is
continuing. Their farm houses and fields are
immaculate. In northern Holland the cattle
live in the farmhouses all during the winter
and believe me, there are millions of people in
the world that don't have living quarters that
are as clean or well kept as those occupied by
the cows in Holland.
"While imported items are costly, it is my
guess that the cost of living is not high there.
We could eat ourselves silly (and we did) for
$3-4 per person. The average worker gets
about $45-50 per week and lives in a small
house or first class apartment. The strength of
the country seems to lie in a stable agricul
tural economy aided by shipping and some
skilled industrial work. We liked it very much
and it was an inspired thought that sent us
here."
