Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are facts."
11 i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a Ionic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez 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 Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
(own and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
