| WALLULAi Octooer 10, So.
ED. STATESMAN We notice that several ''hom.
bres" have been trying beis skill in deciphering
the cabalistic beading to the (now) eelebra ted
"Drakes Plantation Bitters," /" bu: thus far all
have failed, to- give true solution of these mys
teries. Suppose you permit me to give to the
public the true reading Of the rubus, which
stares us in the face at every turn in the streets
or on the road
In the hrst place will begin at the beginning.
In the year 1853, Mr.. Drake found himself rainus
means, having invested his all in land, which
contained roots enough to make bitters for the
world, but some how or other be absorbed all
the bitter, and by this means he "worked OUT
his coin. Finding himself financially Cat on
bis back, be repaired to a friend of his, who
WAS blessed with "much tin,n aud laid his plan
before him, which was nothing more than to
furnish him (Drake) with means sufficient to
commence the manufacture of bitter, that be
felt sure would yield both fortune in ten years
After long negotiation his friend finally con-
sented, and Drake commenced gathering to-
gether the necessary ingredients, and early in
1860 the house of r H. Drake Co. was formed
and in running trim. The next thing was some
heading; some device trade mark, or unknown
character, save to the inventor so s. T-ls6O
j. was hit upon by the ever ready and proli6c
Drake, which is nothing more than the abrevia-
tiOu ofhis promises to his monied partner They
simply mean, S-sure-T-thiug-X- years
from first of 1860; or in other words, Sure thing
fog fortune tn ten years.
The signet in the center, of half moon, and
kind of shepherd rod aud crook, is an after
thought, and was not used until after it became
an established fact that the Bitters would win.
The moon and hook is portion of their devices
they don't care about having exposed, but as
don't write this like "Ringbolt," whose letter is
spread out in the Portland Herald, as an adver-
tsemeut, will continue the whole expose. The
signet should readth
"Having convinced the people that the moon
is made of green cheese; whose component parts
are Plantation Bitters we now stand ready with
our hook, to rake in the COIN"
Reader ''you have it before you, true def
milton of the mysterious letters and figures that
constantly stare you in the face, from bottle,
placard, sides of houses and fences. Go into
New York City, and during the day you will see
wagons about thirty feet long, perfectly ilumin,
ated witn "PlantatioD Btters, 81, Park Row.
New York" At night, the same moving panot
rama of plantation Bitters" is lighted up in
splendid shape. You cannot help noticing them
and in noticing, can't help but read.
