W e wish to call your ntteut.on to .the fact that we keep one ot tbo largest and most complete stock o£ Wiuea, Liquors and Cigars in Teton county. Wo handle only the purest and be6t. All whiskey is pure when it is made, and you can buy it pure it you buy it bottled in bond. Whiskey bottled in bond means that the pure article is transferred from the barrel to the bottle in the Gov ernment Bonded Warehouse under the supervision of a United States gungor. The whiskey hus never been tampered with, audit must have ugo before the government will allow it to bo bottled. Thero i 9 a government stnmp placed over the mouth ot each bottle which guarantees age, purity, proof and measurement. We make make a apocialty of bunded goods and our prices will compete with the lowest. Advertising Medium in Teton County is the One the Wide-Awake Advertiser is Looking for when he has Goods to dispose of to Teton County people. TH t Is not always the Cheapest. In fact, it is but natural that THE BEST should cost more than others not so good. TH E B E S T Advertising Medium anywhere is the Newspaper. THE BEST Newspaper in Teton County is the Why? Because it prints the NEWS. It sets more type every week than both the other papers of the county combined. Its subscription list is larger than the combined lists of the Aeantha and the Shelby Independent. That’s why we claim our paper is Montana Brewing Co., Brewers and Bottlerb of Erira fate Laser H lS i In Kegs and Untiles. All Orders for Keg and Bottled Boer promptly atteuded to. P.O.Box 76 .
