Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 27, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 October 1903 — “I’M FROM MISSOURI.” [ARTICLE]

“I’M FROM MISSOURI.”

“You’ll Have to Show fit.” There’s a great deal of logic and sound sense in the observation of the original ‘‘Missouri man” who demanded that he be “shown.” It is all very well ae an abstract proposition to agree that the standard of honesty in general is growing higher every year, and to assert firm faith in our fellow man,} but. just the same, there is self-protection and solid satisfaction in taking no one’s word, but assuring yourself that the quality of what you are getting is genuine. In these days of imitation and substitution it behooves every purchaser to imitate the shrewd gentleman from the Southern State and insist upon proof. Be “from Missouri.” Demand satisfaction. If you order a bottle of Budweiser, see that it is Budweiser. The way to be sure that you are getting the real article and not an inferior imitation, is to examine the cork. Genuine Budweiser has branded upon its cork, according to the style of bottling, either the simple word “Budweiser” or the familiar “A” and the eagle—the mark of quality. If the bottle served yon has a cork so branoed yon may rest assured that yon are being served the “King of Bottled Beers,” that comes, like the gentleman of fame, “from Missouri.”
