With pardonable pride we have always
believed that we brewed, right here IN
Tacoma, Just about the finest Ale brewed
in America. Naturally, there are some
competitors quite ready to give us a
lively argument on that point, but in our
conviction We are influenced by some
thing more than our own opinion. Our
belief is based on the ale sales figures.
These show that throughout the Pacific
Northwest more people call for Column
bid than any other Ale. So, admitting
that our own opinion might be slightly
prejudiced, tens of thousands of con-
sumers can hardly be wrong.
Today our greatest concern is keeping
faith with these thousands and thou
sands of friends of our product. Friends
who enjoy Columbia Ale, have grown to

expect IT -. and desire il in preference
to any other beverage.
Their preference for our product is a
matter of pride with us; is in fact our
most cherished business possession. But,
in common with many other American
producers, we are operating under war
time restraints. Scarcity of bottles and
caps has curtailed our production;
rationing of tires and gas has restricted
our distribution.
So, if YOU are unable to get Columbia
Ale whenever and wherever YOU ask for
it, please understand that its because
there's war on Civilian wants must be
subordinated to defense needs. This we
must expect and accept :. and we are
sure YOU are as willing to do this as
are We.

they should do the same here. OF course
there were bombings at home, but there
was also the need to relieve every grad

PUEBLO, Colo.-When Browns boys,
Flying Fortress crew at the Pueblo
Army air base, fly to Des Moines, Iowa,
and back, it's no ordinary cross country
trip.
It's a rehearsal for what they call "the
mission to end all missions" a raid on
Berlin.
Browns boys are one of the nine Fly
ing Fortress crews in Capt. Boiling H.
(Rod) Rowlinson's squadron, now in its
polishing phase of training at the Pueblo
base. When they leave here, the next
stop likely will be bomber base in range
of real Axis targets.
First 1t. Merle Brown. Is, Tracy. Mimi,
the pilot, is shy about talking, but his
nine boys know they're about ready for
action and cockily say, Brother, you'll
be reading about US
Every day they fly, Capt Rawlinsons
crews simulate an actual raid as closely
as possible, even to target names like
Wilhelmshaven, Bremen and Hanover.
Superimposed on big European map

equivalent of London In a layout of

to fly their ships and themselves to the
