FAR from the dust-and-germ-laden air of the great cities, in the heart
of the New jersey Pines, where natural springs flow pure, spark
ling and cool, stands the Rex Seal Plant in the midst of its 328 acres.
Good ginger ale must be made where the water supply is purest.
And there, among the Pines, Nature provides the purest always. "Pure
and Healthful!' is the unqualified indorsement of the expert chemists of
the Government Laboratory at Cajmp Dix and the Harrison Laboratory
at the University of Pennsylvania. As an added safeguard the water is
sterilized and ozonated by a special process that eliminates all micro
organisms and assures perfect purity. Man's skill improves Nature's
best.
PURE water is essential, but, more
over, the secret of Rex Seal's instant
popularity is the scientific blending of
its ingredients. Connoisseurs pro
nounce Rex Seal the snappiest, spiciest
ginger ale they ever tasted. It's a man's
drink that makes its delicious appeal to
all.
In tests with other ginger ales Rex
Seal has invariably been adjudged "Best
of All." Its beadlike -bubbles adhere to
rhe glass long after other ginger alw
have become positively flat.
Order Rex Seal by the glass, bottle or
case. Serve it freely to family and.
guests. It is as sparkling, healthful and
golden as Autumn sunshine. Exclusive
in quality but costs no more than
average ginger ale. And in tastc-
OK so-different I
"BEST OF ALL."

the heart of its S23 acren
