Enough to stretch one-third the way around the world. This

Brewing Company of Milwaukee during-the past
year. About six inches of this blue ribbon is
stamped in gold with the words "Guaranteed
Perfect" and wrapped around the neck of each
bottle of

of Quality
Some idea of the popularity of this famous
urew may be gathered from the size of this
order for blue ribbon labels.
The blue ribbon is the mark of excellence
and is used only on Pabst Blue Ribbon. It
is the maker's pledge of quality and your
guaranty of purity.
When you order beer, insist upon
having Pabst Blue Ribbon. You
can recognize the bottle by the blue
ribbon fastened to its neck, as
shown in the illustration.
