A recent wiiter in our local papers has wiz4ely
observed V.nt "one of the follies of the age is to
Luy d,ar Win,s and Spirits." Anothrr folly is to
puppose that buying f, eel those who make the
largest return of duty is boyine them in the
cheapest inftil:(.e. Ih. Merchant who pays duty
upon th,:usands of gallons, pays in exact propor-
tion to the retailea clearing a single cask.. A great
profit must be gained to cover enormous expenses
of large business premises, cost of a.dve,tising, ae.d.

many- instances than taken by them in the respec-
atde Merchant. To buy cheap i to buy were but
one profit is made, and we cannot better illuste
ou, argument than by pointing out the way in
which our townsmen, Messrs. J. Rutland and Son, of
63, Higlest, have opened up the trade. We have
no hesit.itien in sayi,g that 25 per cent. is now
saved by
