After years of effort to Sc
cure to the public a guaran-
tee of buying pure and I'M
adulterated liquors, gave dis
tillers the privilege of bottling
their product in bond under
the direct supervision of the
government, and requiring
that each package should bear
a stamp certifying the age and
quality of its contents. We
have secured the exclusive
agency for Clark's pure rye
bottled under the above con-
ditlons expressly for family
and medicinal use. No med

an article that the public
can fully depend upon as
being what it represents. If
