KELLERsTRASS DISTILLING COMPA
NY's GOOD WIDELY KNOWN.

North Dakota to Texas. The company make
a speciality OF the mail-order trade. and
travellers in remote country places are
aSreeably surprised when invited by some
isolated planter, trapper or miner to indulge
IN an 'eye-opener' TO note that the bottle
set before him contains the Kellerstrass
label.
The Kellerstrass establishment had a mod
est beginning. but its growth has been
steady and rapid. Building after building
has been added to its plant, and the capacity
of the distillery is being increased con-
stantly. 1t is no unusual sight to see from
twenty to forty express wagons backed up
in front Of the Kellerstrass shipping depart
ment. waiting to be loaded with goods con-
signed to the four points of the compass.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that the KEEL
l~erstrass goods are better known in hun
dreds of the smaller towns than they are at
home. This is natural. as before pointed
out. on account OF the popularity Of this
greet distillery's product with the purchas-
ers by mail order. Nine men out of ten. It
has been asserted, whether they be from
Massachusetts. Oregon. Alabama or Ari-
zona, will, upon being asked what brand of
whiskey they keep at home for medicinal and
family use. promptly answer "Kellerstrass."
Kellerstrass whiskey is, however. fast be-
coming better known in the larger cities.
There are very few first-class places where
1t is not sold. and persons who become ac-
quainted with its flavor thereafter insist up
on being served with no other brand. It is
the universal home whiskey and every wise
motrer has a bottle of II in the family
medicine chest ready for emergencies.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. December Is. 1902.

the world. They make the whiskey, bottle
IT, pack 1t for shipment and send 1t direct

pass through the hands of the dealer. By
this method of dealing the purity of the
whiskey is insured. and the company can
guarantee its uniform quality and flavor to
the coqsumer.-St. Louis Republic. Novem-
