A Message on behalf of our Retailers TOURING the war yean it was imperative for us to ration Sides' Select Beer to our retailers because of our firm policy to maintain the unvarying high quality of our product. Even now, with the return of peace, rationing must be continued until our plant expansion program will enable ui to meet the tremendous demand with quality unimpaired. Through this trying period the cooperation of our dealers has been, and is, so generous that we wish to make public acknowledgment of it. The fact that Sicks' Select Beer is rationed requires a sacrifice on the part of your dealer and may mean that he cannot always immediately supply you. If this should ever occur, we ask your patience on his behalf as hU stock will be regularly replenished. You may be sure it is always his desire, and ours, to serve you with as fine a Beer as it is possible to brew. ' Sicks Brewing Co. Salem, Oregon
