Banning water is always fresh ; likewise the moving stock. That is why that Clothes bought here ?j? at all times and seasons reliable, reasonable and trustworthy. B. O. EVANS & CO., The Spot Gash Clothiers. for the ? mm mm, A A A A A A A A A A A A, White IS THE LIGHTEST MINERAL WATER And retair s its gases longer than other Water on the market. ? ,'3O0G0O0OC THIS IS CLAIMING * A GREAT DEAL. But you can make the test yourself by taking a bottle of WHITE STOKE CARBONATED WA?ER and opening it, and at the lame time opining a bottle of any other, and you will be surprised how much longer WHITE STONE LITHIA WATER ytlii retain its gasaes than the other. Another test you can make of the softness of this water, that it does not have the sharp, burning sensation on the tongue or stomach when drinking it that most carbonated waters have. If you will give it a trial you v* III have none other. The WHITE STONE LITHIA ALE will retain some of its gasces after remaining open 48 hours, while most Ginger Ale on the market will not retain theirs 48 seconds. All we ask of you is to make a test of oar Water and Ale, and we know ybu will be convinced of their superiority.
