Dear Sir. -., ‘ - - So many people asked me during die war why some beers and ales were plentiful and others were hard to get that I thought that you, too, might hare been wondering about it. I Well, I don’t know why some beers and ales were hard to get, but I do know why Old Crown Beer and Ale were frequently scarcer than hens’ teeth. I am sure it was due to a policy my company adopted several yean ago when war requirements placed restrictions on brewing materials; when our armed forces asked for more of our beer production, and when civilians demanded beer and ale in ever large quantities. That policy was to brew for quality—never quantity —always how well beer and ale could be brewed—never bow much. With everyone clamoring fog more and more beer and ale, it wasn’t easy so make that decision. But we really felt that you who enjoyed Old Crown quality wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less, even if you had to do ’ without Old Crown occasionally. J.' Srvwi WflMI

You and the many thousands of lovers of good beer and ale proved to us by your overwhelming preference for Old Crown that you appreciate its consistently good quality. That this policy was a wise one is showu by your loyalty to Old Crown. For this loyalty we thank you; it’s deeply appreciated. And we’ll try to merit your enduring approval bj continuing to give Old Crown that same flavor that has pleased so many so long; to “Lazy-Age each Old Crown brew, patiently and unhurriedly; and release it to you only when it has reached the peak of flaw* perfection. In this way we will always know Old Crown has that ’’certain extra something” that makes friends for many years to come. Thank you, Sir, for reading my letter to you.
