But in buying for the home, watch your chances to get a supply of Jax, before your neighborhood dealer sells out after a fresh delivery. Keeping a supply of Jax ahead is an innocent form of hoarding, considering what the war has done to the quality of many articles.

But not Jax Because, in spite of the scarcity of brewing ingredients and worker shortages in the face of overwhelming demand, Jax deliberately decided to maintain its high standard of quality. That will keep your postwar patronage, which is the foundation for all our own plans that will mean more jobs for more people, after the war. JACKSON BREWING COMPANY NEW ORLEANS. LA.
