The title promises "Wines, Liquors, Ales & Lager Beer" under one roof, a pairing that shows how a retail seller of drink in the 19th century often stocked everything from imported wine to domestic spirits and beer. Lager was the newest of these in American markets. Brought by German immigrant brewers, it was cold-fermented and stored in cellars, and it gained ground on the older ales through the second half of the century, so a sign that lists it alongside ale reflects that shift. Advertising of this kind, often printed as a broadside or trade card, was a common way for saloons and liquor dealers to draw custom.
