very, very few ginger ales that physicians
recommend with absolute confidence.
A truly wonderful flavor!
The minute you break the golden seal
of the beautiful bottle and pour bit of
Canada Dry" slowly down the side of the
thin-edged glass, as the connoisseur would
pour glass of fine old wine, you will know
that here, at last, is real ginger ale.
Hold it to the light. See how clear it is!
How it CLEANS and sparkles! The life and
vitality of it! The pale, dry" champagne
color.
And then-taste it! Here is revelation
in ginger ale quality-a delicate, alluring
dry" flavor that intrigues your taste-a
favor unlike that of any other ginger ale
you have ever tasted!
For canada Dry" is made from for

formula took fifteen years to perfect-it is
handed down from father to son-it is one
of the most carefully guarded commercial
secrets in the world!
Truly it has been said that until you try
canada Dry you have no idea how good
ginger ale ought to be. It is so different
from the ordinary ginger ale that it might
almost be called by another name.

Tor years and years, visitors to Canada
have come back with tales of wonder
full ginger ale. They described its exquisite
havor-they told of drinking it in the
Houses of Parliament in Ottawa, in the
residence of the, Governor General, and in
the Royal Canadian Yacht Club
Friends would listen and smack their lips
and ask if there wasn't some way to pur-
chase it in this country. And the answer

Then in 1921 the Canadian owners were
induced to open a selling agency in this
country and Canada Dry" for the first
time, was officially brought to the United

came tales Of a. wonderful beverage

in the most exclusive clubs, hotels and res
taurants in New York.
AS matter of fact, the demand grew
so rapidly that separate plant was soon
made necessary in this country-one of
the most impressive tributes to quality in
the history of American business. The rea-
son for the remarkable success of Canada
Dry"is simply that it is
A real ginger ale
This is an important point to remember.
The dark, brownish color of the ordinary
ginger ale is no indication of the quality.
That strong, burning, biting taste of the
ordinary ginger ale is due largely to the
excessive use of capsicum, or red pepper,
which is often substituted for the genuine
Jamaica ginger.
Because it is real ginger ale, and is made
from real Jamaica ginger and other abso-
lutely pure ingredients, Canada Dry"
blends delightfully."- with other beverages
it will not bite the tongue or burn the lips
it has none of that fiat, syrupy havor-it
leaves no "brassy" after-taste or recurring
"back kick" as some people call tit is
friendly to the stomach!

in the leading hospitals in Canada because
of its purity and quality. 1t is one of the
