1t has come to our notice that certain unprin-
cipaled dealers (who cannot or will not meet our
prices) have in numerous instances claimed that
our sugars are adulterated; we therefore hereby
offer to pay over to any charitable institution of
Portage county the sum of one-hundred dollars
if our sugars are not found upon analysis to be
as free from adulteration the sugars sold by
the grocers of Ravenna, O., samples to be Sc
lected and forwarded to the Ohio State Agricul
tural Chemist. Our sugars are manufactured
by the Havemyer & Elder Refining Co., who
make strictly pure cane sugars only.

the expiratihn of the contract Jan. 1st 1892
