50% Better?
One can only wonder how the makers of Apache beer justified a 50% price premium over the equally wet (and hopefully equally cold) Wunderland suds.
I somehow doubt that the equivalent to what we today consider as "fine table wines" would be found in Bisbee, Arizona, in 1940. But perhaps I'm wrong. My mind is still grappling with the concept of "family liquors," after all.

What the?
I get "Fine Table Wines" but what are "Family Liquors"?
Obviously, I can't resist -- I wonder if they ever got in trouble for serving liquor to a miner?
Apache 15¢ Wunderland 10¢
Wonder if it was the quality, the alcohol percentage or the size of the bottle that made the difference!
Local Brews
Arizona Brewing Co., founded when Prohibition ended, was responsible for Apache and Wunderland beers. Apparently its flagship brew, A-1, lived on (or at least the name did) as recently as 2012.
