It i a fart that Valdez. boor is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor yon know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
if a few times with your meals ami you'll find we're right.
If you drink Leer you should use Valdez. beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town .Hid all who arc interested in the growth and prosper
