Promised Home Growing Beer Flyer Promotes Pure Hop Malt
An old advertisement promotes Home Growing Company beer claiming purity with no mind altering effects. It markets a three cent single and two for five cent deal, lists a holiday procession route from the Indiana state line and Washington Street location, and urges early orders for crayons and cabinets. It touts Clark's and Merer & Co as bargains for dry goods and menswear on the South side.
