FACTS WORTH READING.

Do you use whiskey for medical purposes or
on your sideboard? If so, is it not the first
thought to get an absolutely pure article, free
from all authorizations. How can you better
accomplish this than by buying direct from
the distiller. Did you ever stop to think
when buying gallon of whiskey how many
profits you have paid from distiller to jobber,
from jobbert to retail dealer and from retail
dealer to consumer; three profits added to
the cost. In buying from a dstiller you pay
one fair profit, get goods direct from the dis
tiller free from all fusil oil and adulteration.
If my goods are not satisfactory they can be
returned and money will cheerfully be re-
funded. | ask for the first order you viii ask
for the second. Get good article or none.
