A FAMOUS OLD ROUSE.

The house of Walter Baker &c Co.,. whose manufactures of cocoa and chocolate have become familiar in the mouth as household words. was es- tablished one hundred and twenty one years ago d7s0) on the Nepon- set River in the old town Of Dorehes- ter. suburb of Boston. From the little wooden mill, by the rude bridge that arched the food" where the enterprise was first started. there has grown up tae largest industrial establishment of the kind in the world. IL might be said that, while other manufacturer come and go, Walter Baker & Go. go on forever.
 What is the secret Of their great success? It is very simple one. They have won and held the conf 5ence of the great and cons tantly in- zreasing body of consumers by al ways maintaining the highest stand ard in the quality of their cocoa and chocolate preparations, and selling them at the lowest price for which unadulterated articles of good qual- ty can be put upon the market. They welcome honest competition; but they feel justified in denouncing in the strongest terms the fraudulent meth ods by which inferior preparations are palmed of on customers who ask for and suppose they are getting the genuine articles. The best grocers refuse to handle such goods, not alone for the reason that. in the long run, t doesn't pay to do 1t, but because their sense of fair dealing will not permit them to aid in the sale of goods that defraud their customers and injure honest manufacturers.
 Every package Of the goods made by the Walter Baker Company bears the well-known trademark La Belle Ghocolatiere, and their place of man. ufacture Dorchester, Mass" House keepers are advised to examine their purchases, and make sure that other goods have not been substituted
