It's object 70 restrict the Ciy MeEs use of one brand

TO particular class in whit manner they shall conduct their
business For bumbly resume, long one Miller does
adopt the brand another he commits no offence
to use twenty instead of two. "
The following Observations intended apply chiefly to
the Gaego brand with tie simple remark that success
which has attended Mr. Chevaes efforts has stimulated the
other City Millers to greatT excrtions
