A recent writer in our local p?ipcirs h..s wisely
olserved tl2at "one of the follies of the age is to
buy dear Wines acd Spirits." Another folly is to
suppose that buyiEg from those "Who make the
largest return of duty is buying them in the
cheapest market. The Merchant who pya duty
upon thousands of 7allons, pays in exact proror-
tion to the retailim clearing a single cask. A great
profit must be gained to cover enormous expenses
of large business prmiscs, cost of Evlsvertishq-4., and
an allowance of profit to tl,e Agent, greater in
many inetances than taken by them in the resptle-
able Merchant. To buy cheap is to buy were but
one profit is made, and we cannot better illus!rite
our argument than by pointing out the way in
milieu our townsmen, Messrs J. Rutland and Soil, of
63, High-st, have opened up the trade. We have
U) hesitation in ~.ying that 2EI per cent, is now
saved by their bringin; the producer and the con-
unter tt;geti;er, over the prices paid a few years
ago, and a trial will fully bear out our asscitiong
