Two Quarts in Your Favor
•WITH ONE EXCEPTION, the smallest ship-
* * ment we make is six quarts, and we do not assort.
This reduces the cost of handling, packing and carriage
charges, enabling us to offer six quarts at about the
same price as we would get for four.
In ordering from us you actually buy direct, from
our distiilery, which is No. 100, Coll . . . , District,
Tenn., located in a valley on our farm. The water
we use in distilling is the finest in the world for this
purpose. . /
The grain is the best Northwestern Rye and Malt
and Tennessee Valley Corn. The quality of our
whiskies is so pronounced you will at once discover the
difference from the ordinary kind.
Do not let our low prices prejudice you. They
a»re wholesale, and you buy direct.
