dUstry i'm this country is something
wonderful remarked a well known
travelling man at the Windsor last

at hand when all classes can buy what
they eat all prepared and at no greater
cost, and perhaps less. than what the
raw goods cost at the present time.
The quality is all the time being i'm
proved also"
