Western apples sent to the New York
market last season afford new proof OF
the Importance Of packing goods In the
best way. In the ordinary New York
Hat there Is seldom room for n barrel
of apples. nor would fruit bought In
such quantity keep until used. On the
other hand. apples purchased by the
dozen or the peek are expensive. West.

Mr.. Carnegie intimates that he has
come to the conclusion that the art Of
making money Is q gift. As Mr.. Car.
negie is IN expert along this line there
are great many people who will DO
quite ready to combine their own ex-
perience with his declaration and cheer
fully acquiesce In 1t. At the same time
this Is theory that may be carried
altogether too far. Broadly considered
the gift Of making money Is the gift Of
application. Of industry, Of courage. Of
the art Of plucking down opportunity

1t Ii with pleasure that We Gull the
attention of the trade, aud private fam
lilies, to the fact that owing to the in
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter of undOubted purity and of the
finest quality, we are now bottling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use OF adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops in the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re.
suited In an inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything OF harmful or deleteri-
Gus nature, and ut price that would
commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto to, obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at high price.
Therefore We are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan, enables us
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods OF
all the leading fancy srOcers, the prin-
cipal hotels. restaurants and druggists.
