Arguments May Be Disputed, Bui
"Facts Are Facts." f
It i a fact that Vuldez beer is a. food and not a tonic. 2
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez., beer aids digestion. Use f
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right. a
If you drink tcer you shoulu use Valdez beer in preference to £
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality, i
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home ;
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper- j
ily of Valdez should yptronizt home products.
