"a SWEET TOOTH

ify This Taste--An Invitation to tho Public.
1t is an old saying that everybody has
"a sweet tooth in his head"
About this time of year everybody
wants to exercise his sweet tooth.
The Americans are nation OF candy
eaters, and in holiday times they eat
more candy. Wheeling people eat as
much as any people anywhere.
Probably no article OF ordinary con-
sumption is SO extensively ana gener-
ally adulterated US candy.
Many manufacturers not only use the
poorest gradeof sugar in the manufacture
OF candies, but are not content with thus
imposing upon the public, and aduiter-
ate this bad and cheap sugar with con.
siderable number OF Ingredients, the
names and proportions OF which vary
with different manufacturers. So skill
fully are these mysterious ingredients
manipulated, that the resulting product
has every appearance OF being OF the
best possible grade, and the general pub
lie, attracted probably by low price or
some catch.penny continuance, are in-
duced to invest in something which
would not be touched were its true char.
aCter known.
These cheap and adulterated candies
are for sale everywhere, and as ameasure
OF protection, it is Of decided public in
terest to know where goods can be
bought with the certainty that they will
be found us represented.
There is just one place in this city
where the purchaser can have this as
suranCe, and that place is the extensive
candy mandatory OF George burst,
Nos. 12l7 and 1919 Market street. An
INTELLIGENCER reporter recently made d
tour, US the public at large can to-day,
OF his candy mandatory, watched
the operations OF the workmen, inspect.
ed the various ingredients, and is pre-
pared to state that the very best grade
ofingredients enterinto the composition
OF his candies. Sugar OF the finest grades
are exclusively used, and the resulting
candy, prepared by workmen from cele'
brated Eastern establishments, who are
artists in their several lines, is the very
best to be found OIL sale in this city.
Mr.. burst has II splendidly equipped
mandatory, supplied with the best ma
chinery and all the necessary facilities,
and his products represent honesty in
business and the highest skill in manu-
facture, and may be purchased by the
public with every confidence that there
is not heslightest imposition.
So great is his confidence in thepubliC
verdict after an inspection, that Mr..
burst authorizes the INTELLIGENCER to
invite the publlc-anybody who desires
toto visit his establishment to-day and
witness the whole process OF making
candy. The work is interesting, and
this liberal invitation ought to be gener-
ally accepted.
But candy-making is only one branch
ef Mr.. bursts extensive business. In
general confectionery, fine cakes, ex-
quisite fruit cakes, etc, he as easily
stands at the head Of his competitors as
in candy-making, and receives the ex-
elusive patronage OF those who desire
the best us well us the cheapest.
One Of Mr.. bursts Christmas special
ties is Christmas tree ornaments, Of
which he has an endless variety. These
are now on inspection, and those
who remember his splendid display Of
last year-and who does not-will know
what to expect at his hands this season.
