<strong>THE</strong> LIQUOR BOOK.<br />

will strike the para^-raph devoted to gin and he will be<br />

likely to read that even if he reads nothing else.<br />

In every packa^re that leaves your store there should<br />

be some piece of advertising: matter enclosed. Have on<br />

hand a stock of little folders devoted to various articles<br />

and slip one into every packa-e. Don't put in a lot of<br />

them. Put in one and see that it is attractive and dainty<br />

enoug-h to be preserved.<br />

I have before me a piece of advertising: matter ot this<br />

kind, intended to be enclosed with packa^res, that comes<br />

from a Buffalo liquor dealer. It is a folder about 5 in. x<br />

3 in wdth a cut on the front pa^^e and one on the back.<br />

It is printed in two colors, on li-ht green, deckle-edged<br />

paper. It is entitled -Ye Olden Time Blackberry Wine,"<br />

and inside it reads as follows:<br />

"Blackberry Wine that is made right and kept right<br />

is not only a pleasant, delicate and refined beverage, but<br />

it is better than medicine for the dyspeptic, invigorating<br />

and strengthening to the aged, and invaluable to the<br />

convalescent. Its curative properties in cases of disorders<br />

of the stomach and bowels are well known.<br />

"I have a fine, old, pure Blackberry Wine that con-<br />

tains but the pure juice of an especially cultivated blackberry<br />

and the best of granulated sugar. It contains no<br />

chemicals or compounds, nor is any alcohol used m its<br />

manufacture.<br />

" It is made in the good, old, honest way.<br />

"For a table wine or after-dinner drink it has no<br />

superior<br />

It never loses the delicious flavor of the berry.<br />

'' I fully o-uarantee this wine to be everything it is<br />

claimed to be, and to withstand chemical tests as to its<br />

^"""^To advertise this wine I sell it at my bar at five<br />

cents a large glass. __<br />

"Full quart bottles 50 cents, or bl./o a gallon<br />

delivered free to any part of the city."<br />
