The equal of these beverages cannot be found in this or any other country. The greatest care is used in 0
selecting the malt and hops, none but the best that can be procured being used. Our process is conspicuous for skill f
and cleanliness. Our ten large plants arc of the most modern construction and unci r the supervision of cxperi-
enced brewers, who insist upon thorough cleanliness from start to finish.
Our goods enjoy the special favor of the people of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valleys because they are the 6
products of Home Industry and Union Labor. !U

therefore, no u-e whatever in .oppos
