[Mineral Wells Water Cartoon]
Description:

A graphic representing the relative strength of four common mineral concentrations blended from mineral water produced by wells in the city of Mineral Wells, Texas. They carry a flag declaring, "Mineral Wells, the stongest fort in the world." (Mineral Wells was also the site of Fort Wolters.) The strength of the waters is indicated by the relative size of the stream flowing from each bottle; No. 1 being the mildest and No. 4 the strongest. They comine to banish crutches, patent medicines, wheel chairs, and death and disease in a flowing stream of health and happiness. This cartoon graphic appears in "TIME WAS . . by A. F. Weaver on pg. 30 where it seemingly needs no caption.
