Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Fads."
It i a fact that Valdez boor is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez boor aids digestion. Uso
it a fu,w times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should uso 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 ami all who arc interested in tlio growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize homo products.
