FROM WHAT IT IS MADE.
To obtain a uniform Barley, we hare built a new, up-to-date
Malt House in the Best Barley section of Wisconsin,
and Wisconsin is conceded to be the banner Barley State in
the Union. Most brewers buy their Barley on the Board
of Trade, and get a mixed article; in fact, do not know
where their Barley comes from.
Our Malt House is equipped with the Galland-Hen-ning
"Drum System," thus insuring us Slow-Grown
8 -Day Malt. Most Beer is made from 4 to 5-day
Malt, wnicn is maac Dy an unnatural process,
costs less, and is not healthy.
To obtain uniform Hops of the highest quality, we hare
made contracts with growers to take their entire crops. Our
Hop Growers rank among the largest, oldest and most able
in the coupry. We have taken the entire crops of some for
the past thirty to fifty years. We pay the highest price
because we want the Best.
The Water we use comes from the same bed of Lime
Rock that Waukesha Water comes from, which city is
located 12 miles West of our Brewery. We have
three wells, each 2,000 feer deep into this rock,
from which wc draw our supply.

"The Perfect Foo4M
The use of pure malt extract with the best whole white wheat makes
Malta-Vita so easy to digest, so beneficial to the health and so good to eat.
Starch is hard to digest. The malt extract turns the starch of the
wheat into maltose, or malt sugar, which physicians recommend because
it is so strengthening and so easily digested. Malta-Vita, rich in maltose,
conquers indigestion and constipation. The maltose, too, gives Malta-Vita
its fine flavor.
"For many years my husband suffered from in
digestion ana extreme nervousness. Recently
I bought our first package of Malta-Vita. My
husband, is now in perfect health, bis stomach
seems strong and his nights prove a source of
rest, instead of torture, lie eats but little meat
and pastry and says Malta-Vita takes the place
of both. I serve it in many different ways, with
fruit it makes delicious desserts. For breakfast
it is superior to anything I have put on the
table." Mrs. Valley C. Regan, Rockford, 111.
Get some Malta-Vita to-day. Eat it with milk
or cream or fresh fruit. To those who know
how delicious and sustaining Malta-Vita is,
a satisfactory breakfast is next thing to im
possible without it.
