THE PROHIBITORY SENTI
T1N1ENT
Pervading the country is due in great
measure to the large amount to spuri
(igs Whiskey that is being sold. Im
posed upon by irresponsible dealers
who doctor and color up spirits to
represent Whiskey, consumers are vo¬
ting to wipe out the entire business.
To aid in checking this sentiment by
consumers with a pure
Whiskey I am now placing my cele¬
brated “I. W. Harper Old Nelsqn
County Ivy. Whiskey” direct to
them from distillery warehouse.
This whiskey is made from selected
rye and corn and barley malt at my
distillery in Nelson County, Ivy., and
represents the highest type of distil¬
lation.
As a stimulent or tonic it is pre
scribee by the lending physicians.
As a beverage it will recommend
itself to the most exacting connois
seur. Respectfully,
1. W. HARPER.

caused by an aggravated case of ca¬

result was unprecedented. I commen¬
