That thousands of beer drinkers

OUNTHER's Washington sales have taken

Gunthers 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 . . VitaIly important to all lovers Of
good beer:
First: Light is the enemy of beer. No
matter how well it is brewed, beer exposed to

Second: Beer ages in the wood. Beer must
be aged to be good. But it doesn't age or i'm

Third: Careless handling hurts beer, too.

temperature, light, and early deterioration.
