EVANS & CO., The Spot Cash Clothiers. White IS THE LIGHTEST MINERAL WATER, And retains its gases longer than other Water on the market. THIS IS CLAIMING A GREAT DEAL, But you can make the test yourself by taking a bottle of WHITE STONE CARBONATED WATER and opening it, and at the same time opening a bottle of any other, and you will he surprised bow much longer WHITE STONE LITHIA WATER will retain its gasses than the other. Another test you can make of the softness of this water, that it does not have the sharp, burning sensation on the tongue or stomach when drinking it that most carbonated waters have. If you will give it a trial you will have none other. The WHITE STONE LITHIA ALE will retain some of its gasses after remaining open 48 hours, while most Ginger Ale on the market will not retain theirs 48 seconds. All we ask of yon is to make a test of onr Water and Ale, and we know you will be convinced of their superiority. WHITE STONE LITHIA HOTEL Will be open for guests on July 1st.
