Arguments May Be Disputed, But

Hi- a fact thai Yaldez boor is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdoz beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Yaldez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
lowu and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Yaldez should patronize home products.
