PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE-
DRAFTED PIPPIN APPLE CIDER,

This pure cider is served on steamers on
the American line and at the Waldorf-As-
toria and leading family grocers in New
York city.
Pauldings Pippin cider is made from
the pure Juice OF hand picked apples from
his own mill on the premises. 1t Is abso-
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer-
vescence is natural, and we guarantee il
to be the choicest cider in the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients. its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Pauldings Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton's Pippins are used. The ap-
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room to ripen.
Paulding says 1.-The apples are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed apes and ground apples IL you
take some stems and chew them, you will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness OF the Russet
cider, and everyone will find the Pauld-
'ng's Pippin cider just right to take with
dinner. LIPPMAN BROS,
Sole Agents in Savannah.
