But why do you say [ must

Beer? The answer is
To be certain of age
and purity
Every stage of our brew
ing is under the watchful
eye of a pupil of Joseph
SchlitZ. The precautions
he taught Us are still
observed. The same Scru-
pulous' cleanliness he
maintained in his first
humble home now follows
all through our mammoth
brewery. Such care is
costly and doubles the
expense of our brewing.
But
Schlitz is pure and
thoroughly aged
The aging of beer, keeping
it for months at a low tenn
perature, ripenS it. The
fermentation is finished at
the brewery, not In your
