Cooled in Altered air

In the Schlitz brewery you will find a plate-glass room. In it are cooling pipes, over which the hot beer drips. Above it is an air filter, and no air comes to this room save through that filter.

No germs can reach beer handled with such rare caution. But, after the beer is aged, we filter it, then bottle and seal it, then sterilize every bottle.

We take triple precautions because beer is a saccharine product. Impurities multiply if they get into it. There is no grade between absolute purity and utter impurity.

Every bottle of Schlitz is absolutely pure, and purity is healthfulness. Your physician knows--ask him.
