their excellence. Banning water is always fresh ; likewise the moving stock. That is why that Clothes bought here ?j?

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.
