What you’re looking at
This page contains two distinct elements: **Left side:** A Pabst Beer advertisement claiming superior nutrition from an eight-day malt process. It emphasizes that Pabst's slower method preserves the barley's "life-giving" elements better than competitors' faster four-day processes. This reflects early 20th-century marketing that positioned beer as a wholesome, nutritious beverage—a common sales pitch before Prohibition (1920-1933). **Right side:** A serialized story about "Cousin Arthur" and "Dimpleton." Dimpleton offers Arthur an old, deteriorating automobile as a gift, but Arthur refuses because repair costs would exceed savings. Dimpleton becomes determined to force the gift upon him anyway. The narrative appears to be a humorous tale about stubbornness and unwanted generosity, likely continuing across multiple magazine issues. The Kodak camera advertisement below promotes a new 4½ x 6½ inch folding model, priced at $35.00—positioning photography as an accessible consumer technology for middle-class Americans.

Malt Gives Beer High Nutrition Eight-Day Malt, Exclusive Product of an American Brewery, Makes the Richest Beer. Malt is the life of beer. Our readers understand, of course, that in brewing beer the first thing to do is ke the malt from which to make the beer. ‘The richer the malt the more nutritious, the more whole- some the beer. Pabst learned years ago that the forced method of making malt in three or four days could not possibly be accomplished without losing in large degree the life-giving, strength-giving ele- ments of the barley. Most breweries use this old process. It is quicker, easier and less expensive. The Pabst way gives the full richness of the grain to he beer. It doubles the expense of brewing, but it kes Pabst Beer the leader of all beers. Pabst Beer is the richest beer in actual food value | and strength-building clements because it is made only with Pabst eight-day malt. Careful test, practi a1 experience in brewing alwayswith aneye single to ne very best product possible, has taught Pabst that malt made of grain grown in this country must have cight days in which to properly mature.

He makes his own malt by an exclusive eight-day process, double the time and double the expense of the common four-day method. ‘This Pabst process gets all the good out of the barley No other process does. It, made from finest barley, it would if put in the greund, stened by the rain and warmed by the sun. Nature abhors waste, and in the eight-day process there is no forced unnatural growth that wastes food clements of the grain, ‘The result is a beer that has the greatest food value, the greatest tonic value, yet is mild and pleasant, superior in taste and flavor, per- fect in age, purity and strength Ribbon Beer, the best beer brewed.

He fingered the tires. “Pretty rotten,” he muttered. Then he backed off and thought. “Cousin,” he said, “it was mighty good of you | to offer me that machine, I’m sure. But if it’s all the same to you, I won’t take it.’ “Why not?” “Well, to put it in condition would take more money than I could save in two years.

He was determined to get rid of that automobile if it was a possible thing. ‘That night he sent a postal card to his junk | “Does “But you You’ve Fesortsy MACK!
