Walter's Beer

December 1933 saw the repeal of the Twenty-first Amendment and the end of Prohibition. Local breweries geared up and advertised their wares
In case you don't want to try to read the fine print, I've listed the fine Oak Cliff establishments listed on the ad where you could purchase this fine product:

The Street Inn  -  138 W Davis
H. B. Nichols - 332 W Davis
James Zara - 706 E. Jefferson
Webb Waffle Shop -1207 N. Zang,
J.S. Paul Drug Store - 1732 S. Ewing
H. Boedecker & Sons - 113 N. Lancaster
Clifton Coffee Shop - 214 W. Colorado
West Dallas Drug Store - Eagle Ford Road
New Wabash Drug Co - 102 Cliff
Jefferson Drug Co.-  Jefferson and Zang
Uncle Sam Sandwich Shop  - Tyler and Seventh
Crystal Cafe 831 - W. Jefferson
El Patio Cafe 220 - W. Jefferson
Kessler Cafe - 1305 W. Davis
Mandarin Inn - 1363 N. Zang
The Chapultepec  - 1126 N. Zang
Midway Cafe - 101 E. Jefferson
Blue Crest Cafe - 1315 W. Davis,
Jelly Parrino's - Beckley at Davis


I hope to visit some of these places in 2012. This beer bottle is a later vintage, probably about 1945, and I'm sorry to see the illustration on the original bottle is gone.
