Now is
The
Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try It.

Hi a fact that Valtlez beer is a f« ><•<! and not a Ionic.
Ask any doctor you know. Yaldez 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 Yaldez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because iL is a home product; brewed in your home
I own and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Yaldez should patronize home produets.
