Texas' State Highway System
comprises ocer 21,000 miles
of modern, improved roads.
$146,969,604.04 was spent in
state road building in the last
live years. The modern traffic
circle at Waco shows what
pride Texans take in their fast,
trat el-sa^n highway system.
Evidence of its adherence to highest standards is the fact that
the San Antonio Brewing Association is the only brewery in
the United States where complete air-conditioning accompanies
every step in its modern, skillfully controlled brewing process.
Finest ingredients, San Antonio's pure, world-famous artesian
water and fifty-two years of expert brewing, give PEARL a
matchless pedigree of perfectly balanced quality, body and
flavor—that "Extra Something' that makes it a Winner with
people everywhere. "THE REASON IS IN THE BOTTLE !"
