Once more we have an accusation
by the government in Washington
that the packing trust is overcharg
ing toi its meat. Although the price*
to the producer has declined the
wholesale price remains as high as
ever. This time it is the agricultural
department that tells the miserable
consumer how unhappy he should bo
and no doubt . is.
The latest melancholy reference U
the defiant meat trust serves to em
phasize the failure of the administra
tion to secure any relief for the pub
lic. Year after year the administration
investigators have been ripping the
welkin with cries of rage and resent
ment. The beefy octupus has been
described in terms that have run the
diapason of reproach, but has continu
ed to octopate as perniciously and per
fidously as of yore.
Meantime the consumer has waited
for administration rage to coalesce in
to action. From time to time it has oc
curred to him that the administration
might pass from reproach to repres
sion. f om recommendation to laws
embodying the recommendation. l*’it
just when the consumer had comfort
ably assured himself that the legisla
tive and administrative knights o*

if not the superior of any
ether cereal beverage
you ever tasted!
Merc is ox o of the most dering offers ever
xrade. If v:e .v:» \/rcr." we clni’d to lose
a fovU’ne. Ir we *re nVM o«r product
should recei e you: preference. Vve ap
point; you judge and jury, f our decision
will be final. You will accept—will you
not?
CUR STARTLING PROPOSAL
Go lo any dealer in »oft drink* and buy two
bottles of RAINIER SPECIAL. Take them home.
Properly chill them. Enjoy the beverage—com
pare it with any other cereal beverage you ever
tasted. Have ether* try it. Get their opinion.
If they or you think you have ever tasted a
cereal beverage that surpasses it, mail u* the
caps of the bottles, wiih your name and address,
date of purchase, a d name and address of
dealer from whom pu.’chase was made, and we
will return to you, without quibble or question
the sum you spent for the beverage.
A FORTUNE INVOLVED
If we were not reasonably sure of our ground,
it would be the height of folly to make this offer.
The six million people to whom it eventually
will be made could easily take a fortune from
us. Our product, however, is such a superior
article that we feel we are taking no more than
art ordinary business risk. . Our opinion is that
RAINIER SPECIAL has no equal among cereal
beverages in the world today.
ACCEPT OUR OFFER AT ONCE
Our offer is so unusual that all should accept it.
If RAINIER SPECIAL is found inferior, you get
every penny or your money back. If superior,
you are enlightened as to the proper brand of
cereal beverage* to demand. You win cither
way. You take no risk whatever. You will find
RAINIER SPECIAL wherever good things to
drink are sold. .Tfn? large eleven-ounce bottles
contain two standard size glasses of beverage.
This daring offer hold; good for five days only.
