" Best sarsaparillas." When you think of it how contradic- ,
tory that term is. For there can be only one best i:i anything one
best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest
river.onc deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is ? ....
There's the rub ! You can measure mountain height and ocean
depth, but how test sarsaparilla ? You could if you were chemists.
But then do you need to test it? The World's Fair Committee
tested it, and thoroughly. They went behind the label on the
'bottle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in ? Every make
of sarsaparilla shut out of the Fair, except Ayer's. So it was
that Ayer's was the or.ly sarsaparilla admitted to the World's
Fair. 'The committee found it the best. They had no room for
anvthing that was not the best And as the best, Ayer's Sarsa
parilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember
the word best " is a bubble any breath can blow ; but there are
pins to prick such bubbles, those others are blowing more
" best sarsaparilla " bubbles since the World's Fair pricked the
old ones. True, but Ayer's Sarsaparilla has the medal. The
pin that scratches the medal proves it gold. The pin that pricks
the bubble proves it wind. We point o medds, cot LuUblcs,
when we say : The best sarsaparilla is Ayer's.
