MILK STOUT

It's a well known fact that there is no other beverage that has the same pick-me- up and tonic effect as Milk Stout, yet because of the high prices charged in the past by merchants who have stocked this com- modity, the public have been loth to buy. WE CAN NOW OFFER THE PUBLIC A MILK STOUT WHICH CONTAINS THE FULL CONTENT OF RICH CREAMY MILK FROM ENGLISH COWS, AND IS ALMOST 50% CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER MILK STOUT ON THE MARKET.
