Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
II i 21 fact that Yaldez beer is a food and not a Ionic.
Ask any doctor you know. Yaldez boor aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink Leer you should use Yaldez boor in preference to
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 tho growth and prosper
ity of Yaldez should patronize home products.
