Besley's Waukegan Brewing Company.
1t 10 with pleasure that we call the
attention Of the trade, and private fam
lilies, to the fact that owing to the In
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter Of undoubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now bOttling the
same upder our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re.
suited In an inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of harmful or deleteri.
GUS nature. and at q price that would
commend Ito use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at q high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality. equal In every
respect to the imported, at . much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods Of
all the leading fancy grocers, the prin-
cipal hotelA gsstauSants and druggists.
