Cheer! Vitality A cool glad smile for these
humid summer days!
For here is no ordinary ginger ale that owes it's
popularity solely to pleasing flavor-wonder-
full as that is-but beverage that is genuinely
good for you. 1t lifts you up mentally and
physically! Refreshes! Invigorates! Makes you
feel keener! Happier! Better!
The minute you break the golden seal and
pour it, cool and dewy, into the tinkling glasses,
you will know that at last you have found the
ideal summer beverage.
Hold it to the light! See how clear it is! How
CLEANS and sparkles! How pale and dry" like
fine old wine!
Here, indeed, is a revelation in ginger ale
quallty-a delicate alluring flavor that intrigues
Evening star., 1925-06-25

your taste-a flavor quite unlike that of any
other ginger ale you have ever tasted
For "Canada Dry is made from real Jamaica
ginger, and is one ginger ale that does not con-
tain capsicum (red pepper) in any form.
That is the reason it will not bite the tongue
or burn the lips! That is the reason it has
none of that "too-sweet" syrupy flavor! That is
the reason it leaves no after-taste or recurring
"back kick, as some people call it! That is
the reason it mixes so delightfully."- with other
beverages!
The first taste will tell you why this fine old
ginger ale has been popular for so many years in
Canada-tell you why it has created a sensation
ever since it was introduced in this country
Have you tried it?

When It's playtlme IN summertime and you re t
for drink that is really refreshing

PLAYTIME in summer time! >. Fussy foursomes
matching scores at the eighteenth hole! Gay
groups on spacious clubhouse verandas
Baseball 4. :. tennis ;. sail! A picnic in the
cool of some shaded woods . .. . stroll on the
boardwalk by moonlit sea!
Glorious, golden summer! -. The choicest
playtime of the year! Hottest time too!
Time when you, will appreciate most the good
ness of "Canada Dry"
1t is the coolest and most refreshing summer
time beverage that has ever been sold in this
country.
Down from Canada 1T came-down from
the land of cool green woods and snow-covered
trails.
A taste of winter is in every glass! Health!
