= Pure Whisky Is the Kind That
Makes Red Blood in the Veins,

FIFTY or seventy-five years ago pretty
much everybody with red blood in his
veins drank khisky. If some of those
imbibers of the old-fashioned hand
made product could come back to flesh
they would make rather wry faces at
some of the Installations and COM
pounds handed across to them at taV-
ern or bar.
Theirs was the day of pure WHISTLES.
They didn't have to label their jugs
and casks and fagons pure" because
there wasn't any other kind on the
market.
OF course, nationally, we have long
since outgrown the days of the little
still no larger than a teakettle; but we
havn't outgrown the pure product A
case in point:
A few years ago-as time is meas
ured-the house of Fleischmann & Co.
undertook to produce a rye possessing
all of the virtues of the whisky Abra-
ham Lincoln wanted to sell to all his
generals when some one told him Gen.
Grant was a whisky drinker They
undertook to produce pure and
healthful whisky and they called the
brand Congress Hall Maryland Rye.
How we'll this house has succeeded
in its endeavors is known to all men.
me HOH-QTIHhST KNOWS II, Tor ne sees
Congress Hall on the buffet at the
clubs at the bars of the leading ho-
tells, and on the sideboards of his most
exacting friends. He sees the brand
from tidewater to the trans Missouri
country; from the Gulf to as far north
as you can find men with a thirst If,
once in a while, you run across a place
that has it not, the chances are that
the dealer has found himself over
stocked with other brands which he is
undertaking to work off.
That's how the non-drinker knows
of the popularity that has followed the
purity of Congress Hall Rye How the
discriminating drinker knows all this
is more easily explained: He tasted it,
1t doesn't matter much how-with o
little hot water in the winter; straight
or in a high ball when the mercury's
up-the result is pretty generally the
same. He likes it, and asks for it the
next time he needs a nip. Now and
then, of course, there may be an ex-
ception. There always is. We've all
heard of the man who growled at his
juicy sirloin, and told the waiter he
wanted little body to his meat!"
You take pure rye-made as hon
estly as our forebears made their tip
pie, and there isn't a cross word in a
bottle" The rational use of such bev-
erage is conducive to even temper; to
sunny smiles; to supple muscles; to
good digestion; to an unfurrowed
brow; to plump cheeks and snappy
eyes which bid defiance to Times
relentless march, and carry a man to
his journeys end beyond the milestone
at which the scold and the dyspeptic,
the worrier and the cold-hearted were
halted to enter their last, long rest.
OF course it proves nothing to quote
statistics. Clever statisticians, nova
days, can twist figures to meet their
ends. But the actual dollars and cents
experience of a Scotch life accurance
society has demonstrated that the man
who takes nip now and then, for
his stomach's sake, outlives his brother
who never wanders beyond cold water
and oatmeal.
Coming back to the original PROPOSE
ton: Congress Hall Rye is pure, old
and mellow, made by a house famous
the country over for the purity of its
products. UneXcelled as a beverage,
its medicinal merits are of the same
rank. bottle or two for the family
use is really a duty to the head Of.
