GOOD
SODA
Good Soda is deservedly the
most popular of beverages, for
nothing is more refreshing, more
cooling or inexpensive.
Good Soda is not so common as
it should he, and the reason is
not difficult to learn.
Good Soda means knowledge,
application to details, and some
considerable trouble.
Good Soda depends on many
things—small details which ure
often overlooked.
Good Soda depends on good ma
terials, (the best,) liberal use of
best fruits and flavorings, and a
willingness to expend both the
proper amount of labor and ener
gy to make the drink “just right.”
Good Soda depends on cleanli
ness clean apparatus, clean
sinks, clean towels, clean glasses
the kind which insists on the
hidden parts being kept clean as
well as the parts in sight.
Good Soda depends on knowl
edge of what constitutes a good
drink, and a willingness to fur
nish it, no matter how short the
profit.
Lastly, WE THINK good Soda
depends on proper service, and
facilities for enjoying it. All of
the necessary conditions are met
in our store.
Make our store your drinking
place.
