You can easily tell a GOOD article
by the number of substitutes, and,
like other GOOD drinks, there is a
SUBSTITUTE now for “NU
GRAPE.”
This substitute is artificially col
ored and flavored, and states so
on the cap and when you call for
GRAPE the substitute is furnished
by some.
NU-GRAPE is the genuine, origi
nal drink and has the GENUINE
GRAPE FLAVOR AND COLOR,
not the artificial, so call for “NU
GRAPE” when ordering and look
at the cap to see that it is NU
GRAPE.
