JOIATENT BRANDY VERSUS COGNAC.
—lf any evidence we're wanting, that the old prejudices in
favour of French Brandy over the English Spirit are fast wear-
ing away, and that the public are disci.' -ainating and judging fol
themselves as to the respective merits of the two articles, such
evidence will be found in the simple fact that, whilst BETT'S
PATENT BRANDY has experienced a sale, within the present
year, exceeding, by nearly 50 per cent., that of any corre-
sponding preceding period, there has been a considerable falling-
off in the consumption of Foreign Brandy.
If the comparison be made with the Brandy establishments
of this Country, it will be found that, after all their lofty pre-
tensions to public support, they have dwindled into comparative
insignificance ; the entire trade of the largest and most pow-
erful of these establishments not having amounted to the mere
increase in J. T. Betts and Co.'s sales within the same space of
time ; a necessary consequence of their total inability to produce
an article with the slightest pretensions to approach it in
quality.
The Patentees, as Distillers, cannot send out less than Two
Gallons, which may be obtained, either pale or coloured, for
Cash on delivery, at eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of
the highest legal strength, at the Distillery. No, 7, Smithfield-
bars, leading to St. John-street, their only Establishment.
