Behind it must be age, tradition and experience.” In 1935 we said: “Make this test, drink BUDWEISER for five days and on the sixth day try to drink a sweet beer.” ©® Ametica has made the test—America responds to quality regardless of price. The widespread swing to BUDWEISER has exceeded the capacity of the largest brewery in the world. Constant brewery expansion has been necessary to care for the ever inereasing calls for BUDWEISER, King of Bottled Beer. @ History repeats itself. Good taste never changes. Now, in 1936, the constantly growing universai de- mand is evidente that millions of beer drinkers have been awakened to an understanding of real beer quality. They have put their stamp of approval on BUDWEISER by giving it their patronage...the supreme acknowledgment of quality. ANHEUSER-BUSCH ¢« ST. LOUIS Budweise 17,000 b
