Is Prohibition a Success.

We leave this for the people of the
localities interested to decide, while
we will try to induce those who use it
for sickness or for family use in any
way, to use pure whiskey, The kind
that does the least harm and the most
good. We don't suppose there ever
was or will be person but who would
want pure whiskey if he could get it,
and yet, the impure article has been
sold 30 much and claims so often made
that it was pure that some people do
not know the article orqualf cetions Of
the genuine taste.
Convenience again causes some to
be careless in ordering their whiskey.
They either imagine they wifi not get
their orders filed promptly or that we
are too far away to give their orders
the attention they should have. Still
another wrong impression, as we de-
liver goods in the south as promptly
as to local points, and we make a spec
ialty of shipping all orders promptly
on the first train.
During the last three months we have
endeayoTe1 to give the readers of this
paper few facts CONCERNING whiskey,
to guide them in its nee and buying
We have already received magnificent
results, and are particularly pleased
with our part Of the advertising, and
should there be anyone who would
like for us to go more into details, we
will give them all the information they
desire il they will write us.
Let us send you our order blanks
and instructions. Give Premier Pure
a trial, and even though you are the
poorest judge of whiskey you will ex-
perience no trouble in telling the diff
Ference in our goods and others. Write
