A recent writer in l h
local paper. as w,s
observed that "one of the follies of the age is to buy
dear Wines and Spirits." Another folly is to
suppose that buyinc, from those who make the
argest return of duty is buyincr them in the
cheapest market. The 'Merchant who p iys duty
nt.,on thousands of gallons pays in exact proportion
to the retailer clearing a single cask. A great profit
must be gained to cover enormous expenses of large
business premises, cost of advertising, and an
allowance of profit to the Agent, greater in
many instances than taken by them in the resNct-
ahe Merchant.. To buy cheap is to buy where but
one profit is made, awl we cannot better illustra t.-
our argument than by pointing out the way in
%hien our townsmen, Messrs. J. Rutland and Soo, o
63, High-st, have opened up the trade. We haye
no hesitation in saying that 25 per cent, is now
saved by their bringinz the producer and the con-
ul.er together, over the prices paid a few years
am), and a trial will fully bear out our assertions
