A THOMSONS’ SHANDY

1. Thomsons' manufacture a special lemonade for shandies so that It will combine scientifically with heavy, light, sweet, or bitter ales, whether bottled or draught. 2. ■ Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies is so scientifically prepared that it combines with and increases the palatability of new. old. or what are termed "hard ales." ,• 3. Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies is produced so as to suit the requirements of the first draw-off as well as when the cask is down to the very last of the tilt. A cheap, jumpy, frothy lemonade creates too much froth, while a cheap, flat, lazy one is of no service whatsoever. 4. Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies opens without fuss or splutter, and remains fresh and sparkling for 24 hours. 5. Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies will improve the sparkling qualities of a flat cask, of ale. 6. Irrespective of how flat or sour a cask of ale may become through careless treatment, Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies will revive and restore it to the original condition, flavour, and sparkle. . 7. Without Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies, a palatable shandy cannot be produced, and particularly when the ales are yeast-bitten from secondary fermentation. 8. Cheap, flat, bottle sugar and water (so-called lemonades) flavoured with turpentine, combined with any ale. will no more produce a shandy than tap water. 9. Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies is not only scientifically manufactured. but it is scientifically carbonated, as well as being scientifically bottled for shandy production. It will stimulate and bolster up any ale which is in unsound or doubtful condition. 10. Being so well balanced and manufactured at the correct temperature, bottled and sealed under scientific pressure, Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies will suit ales of any quality, any age, any flavour, or any degree of unsoundness. 11. The ingredients, as well as the manufacture of Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies, are controlled by full-qualified scientific manufacturers, while the carbonating, bottle sterilisation, bottling, and sealing are automatically controlled. by the use of scientific instruments. 12. Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies is just the correct weight, density, and sweetness to mix thoroughly with ales of varying densities. A weak, thin-bodied, wishy-washy lemonade will' only remain at the top of the glass, while a sweet, heavy, sickly, syrupy one will refuse to mix, and will lie at the bottom. 13. When a licensed victualler is using Thomsons’, his bar attendants proudly hold the bottle high up before the customers, and then they, place the empty on the counter. When a cheap lemonade is used, it is mixed below the counter, and the bottle is immediately placed out of sight and hidden from view. ' ' 14. A licensed victualler who always dispenses Thomsons’ high-class lemonade can be depended upon to dispense high-class ales, stouts, wines, spirits, and liqueurs, as well as keeping a high-class table. 15. In short, without the use of Thomsons’ special lemonade for shandies, no bottle or draught ale, irrespective of how high the quality of the ale may. be, can possibly be expected to. produce a palatable thirst-quenching pure shandy. 16. In mixing a shandy, always pour Thomson’s special lemonade gently down the inside walls of the glass, and then add the ale in the same manner. 17. Ask for Thomsons’ shandy, and see that you obtain it
