Whatever you drink outside, let your
home beer be Schhtz. That is pure beer.
No bacilli in it - nothing to make you
bilious.
Beer is saccharine product, and germs
multiply rapidly it. The slightest faint
of mpurity quickly ruins its healthfulness.
We go to the utmost extremes to prevent
that. Cleanliness is a science where Schlitz
beer is brewed.
We even cool the beer in plate glass
rooms, in nothing but filtered air.
Then we filter the beer. Then we
sterilize every bottle.
And Schlitz beer is aged. The beer that
makes you bilious is green beer.
When you order beer for your home,
get the healthfulness without the harm.
Get pure beer get an old beer get Schlitz-
