NAUTI0N.--we beg leave to caution pnrcha-
u sers of our choice OLD MONONGAHELA
WHISTLES against the deception and petty fraud
which is practiced by certain parties in tins city
and in Baltimore, who have appropriated to them,
selves exaet copies of the Star Brands, long used
and desgned by US to distinguish our Old Whiskeys.
We can assure our friends and customers, that the
unrivalled quality. everywhere acknowledged OF
our choice OLD WHISTLES, cannot be equslled
by these ingenious invaders Of our rights.
Our new establishment. GIBsoNToN MILLS, on
the Monongahela River gives US nncquaIled tacill-
ties for making Whskey of the choicest kind, from
matted and kiln dried grain.
Purchasers of our Old Whiskes will please to
notice. the words GiBsoyroS MILLS and JONI Glib
SON, Soys & Co., are inserted in the new Brands
which we now adopt: and We deem 1t duty to our
customers and ourselves, to giTe notice, that we
will prosecute and expose any person or persons
who may hereafter copy or use our Brands.
