That thousands of beer drinkers
are switching to Gunther's
is shown by big increase in sales
i'm last few weeks!

GUNTHER's Washington sales have taken a
terrific Jump in the past few weeks. Under
Gunther's sensational new delivery plan, which
insures you beer with true brewery" flavor,
as it is rushed direct from the brewery to your
dealer in fast trucks every day, thousands and
thousands of beer drinkers are joining the
swing to Gunther's!,
Gunther's new delivery plan is not some
thing that "just happened" there are very
definite reasons for it. Here is why it is really
important .. vitally important to all lovers of
good beer:
First: Light is the enemy of beer. No
matter how we'll it is brewed, beer exposed to
light for anylength of time deteriorates rapidly.
Second Beer ages in the wood. Beer must
be aged to be good. But it doesn't age or i'm
prove in bottle Time gradually destroys its
true brewery" flavor once it has left the wood!
Third Careless handling hurts beer, too.
Carelessly stored, out in the open, or in ordi-
nary warehouses, it is subject to the ravages of
temperature, light, and early deterioration.
If there is product more sensitive, in many
ways, than milk, it is beer And we found that

our beer was not always handled properly in
the past.
So you see why Gunthers is now delivering
beer right from the brewery direct to your
dealer in fast trucks daily. It costs us more
money. But you get perfect beer in every bottle!
The next time you order beer, try Gunther's!
Learn the difference true "brewery' flavor

you just as it was brewed for you at the

out to the stable He harnessed the old sorrel
horse, set the eagle on the back of the wagon
seat, and drove in to Eau Claire.
The idea struck me like brick, Cap'n,'
he said, that me and the eagle ought to go
to the war And the Eau Claire Badgers is
the place for us.
I'm sorry" Captain Perkins said, but
the doctor says you're not fit"
How about the eagle, Cap?' called
lounging soldier.
Mccain shifted from one foot to the other.

What say we buy him, Cap the soldier
shouted. He whipped off his hat. Come on
boys, chip in to buy US an eagle"
Mccain twisted the eagles tether in his
fingers while the hat was passed. He didn't
really want to sell the bird. He wanted to go
to the war, and take the eagle with him. But
there was no sense in losing out all the way
around.
The Captain counted the money shook his
head, dug in his own pocket. There you are
ten dollars even,' he said Think that's a

chickens to eat. They made him perch at
the top of blue painted pole Just as high as
the color standard. And James McGlnnis was
elected first official sergeant of the eagle
guard, with two honor soldiers under him.
Old Abe was accustomed to the string about
his foot and he thought it grand and inn
portant to wear a red. white and blue rosette
on his breast - tied under his wings and
around his body with strip of tape.
When the regiment marched through
Madison, the people crowded the streets and
cheered themselves hoarse. Old Abe sat still
and proud on his perch beside the flag, and
knew that the praise was all for him.
He had two chickens for dinner the day the
men decided to change the name of the Eighth
Wisconsin Infantry, the Eau Claire Badgers
to the Eau Claire Eagles.
Spring came early, for the Army was march
ing south to meet it. And on a warm May
morning at Farmington, Mississippi, Old Abe
went into battle for the first time He failed
his wings and screeched with glee as the can

fire was a terrifying thing to him He huddled
close to his perch and shivered as bullets
meant for his bright rosette whizzed past. He
saw many soldiers fall, and he realized that
the Kissing things that clipped his tail feathers
were killing his friends. He thought des-
perately of flight, but he knew that he was
tied. So. swaying on his perch beside the
