Schweppes dalmatians Photographie Publicitaire Schweppes, Carte Postale de Michael Joseph

Here is the translation of the original advertisement that was published in German:

William Watson-Byrnes was awarded “The Order of the Sherlock Holmes Society”
for the ancestral gallery of the cold-snouted tracking noses of Scotland Yard.

He is a Schweppes drinker.

Why, then, is Schweppes such an inimitable invention?
Because it is genuinely English?
Because only Schweppes produces that refreshingly bittersweet sparkle that tingles on every tongue?

Or because one is inclined, at most, to dilute fine spirits with it — purely for the sake of variety?
Or do you have your own very personal reason for drinking Schweppes?

Schweppes commits.
Pure or mixed.

Schweppes Tonic Water · Bitter Lemon · Bitter Orange · Ginger Ale · Soda Water
