NO MATTER HOW you look at it—Lon* Star is truly a wonder-
ful beer. Brewed to perfection without added sugars or
syrups, Lone Star is the taste that most people like in a beer.
No wonder its popularity grows and grows.
P. S. Sales of Lone Star have grown more than eight times faster
than sales of the next fastest growing brand of beer in America
—from 1941 through 1951. Lone Star’s sales are now
over 14 time* greater than they were 11 years ago.
