standing that his appointmenl
would be only temporary and un
til he had effected a reorganiza

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
II i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic, j
Ask any doctor yon know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right. I
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to j
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality. !
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper- J
ity of Valdez should patronize home products. j
