YOU CAN'T TELL xx&xxxxxx What kind of weather comes at this season of the year we are liable to have blizzards, extreme cold and sudden changes of temperature. Do you know that a little good whiskey is the best medicine to fortify the system against such changes? Ask Any Physician and if he is honest he will tell you that pure whiskey is the best preventative against Colds, Chills and like ailments. Our Cabinet Rye Whiskey at $3.00 a gallon is guaranteed to be absolutely pure and four years old. There is 110 whiskey in the county for the same money that can compare with it. We pay the expressage too, and make 110 charge whatever for boxing and shipping. When a transfer from one express company to another is necessary, we prepay charges to point of transfer. Send us $3.00 for a sample gallon. We know it will please you. MAX KLEIN, Wholesale Liquors, 322 FEDERAL ST., ALLEGHENY. PA- Our complete catalogue and price list mailed on application.
