WHY WE TALK ABOUT
Han|ey's Peerless Ale

We have reason for telling you of it's merit
We know just what good, pure whole
beverage it is, and we want everybody
else to know it, too
1t is admitted by everyone that pure, we'll
matured ale, brewed of first quality barley malt,
is the most wholesome beverage ever prepared
by man.
Properly used, such an ale is healthful,
strengthening tonic 1t aids and promotes
the digestion and assimilation of food. Il
soothes the nerves, and prepares the body for
quiet, restful sleep.
Taken with meals. and on retiring at night it
is most salutary.
We know these things. They have been
taught by physicians and scientific men and con-
hrrned by many thousands of satisfied patrons.
Again, Haney's Peerless Ale is a home
brew. The flavor is rich and nutty, yet abso-
lutey natural. 1t is very rich in malt extract
ranking as high in this respect as any imported
ale.
Hanley's Peerless is expensive ale to brew.
1t costs more than nine-tenths of the ales on
the market, yet the price to the consumer is the
1t is especially adapted to bottling, and
isbottled by leading bottlers for family, hotel and
club trade under perfect conditions of purity
and cleanliness
We eknow all these things, and that is why
we keep repeating them.
When you drink Hanley's Peerless Ale you
may be you are getting the best there is.

ONE of the best news items pub
Tished by THE HERALD for some
time is the announcement that the
contractor for the erection Of the
electric lighting plant and the wa
1erworks believes he viii complete
the work within four months. It is
possible that the clear, pure, crys-
sal waters will be flowing through
che mains on Christmas day. What
4 day of rejoicing it will be for
Brownsville if the work is complet-
ed in time for the great Christian
festival. The time limit for the
completion of the work stipulated
En the contract is March 1. 1908,
which is about two months earlier
ahan most of the citizens believed
would be set as the date for the
completion of the work. The al
,dermen are a unit in pushing the
work through in a business like
way and they have in the city at
torney a gentleman who is careful
gyssguarding the interests of the
municipality in the matter of con-
tracts and the preparation of the
BONDS. After the contract had been
signed, the contractor astounded
chose present by declaring that by
the use of machinery for the dig
xiug of bitches and a large per
centage of skilled labor he would
have the water running through
she mains two months earlier than
the contract stipulated.
