w _. FIFTEEN REASONS: 1. THOMSON AND CO. guarantee that tlieydo not use any synthetically-prepared essences or any of tlio following chemical adulterants universally used by manufacturers of cheap cordials and summer drinks to hide inferior quality as well as to prevent putrefaction, which is the result of cheap ingredients and slovenly and insanitary workmanship: Gum acacia, tartaric acid, acetic acid, saffron, Safflowe.r, tumeric, cochineal, sasm, tlulcin, glucin, formic aldehyde, hydrofluoric acid, hydrofhiosilicio acid, benzoic acid, l-eta-napthol, beuzoate of soda, sodium chloride, saccharin, beet sugar, maple sugar, birch sugar, glucose or starch sugar, gum tragacanth, linseed, glycerine, corpuloso, sulphurous acid, horacic acid, dry eakic sulphite, sodium sulphite, tormulin compound-?, bisulphite of lime, magnesium sulphite, magnesium bisulphite, metasulpliite of potassium, methylated spirits of wine, alum, saltpetre, ammonium acetate, fluorine compounds, copper salts, pyroligneous acid, etc. Those who buy cheap cordials tako a big risk! 2. Thomson and Co. use only the purest and best fresh fruit juices, the very Quest No. 1 grade cane sugar, and all other ingredients used for different purposes aro the purest and best obtainable in tho world. 3. They guarantee that all Cordials, Carbonated Waters, Syrups, Wines, etc., bearing their name and trade mark " Purity" on capsule, label, and wrapper contain NO ADULTERATION OR CHEMICALS OF ANY KIND. 4. To guard against any possibility of adulteration, all fruit juices, and other raw material aro microscopically and analytically examined in Thomson's analytical laboratory before being passed for manufacture. 5. Tho factory in which Thomson and Co.'s world-renowned drinks are manufactured ' is the moat sanitary and BEST-EQUIPPED SOUTH OF THE LINE, and the staff, aro specially trained experts,, and are only selected for special duties. 6. The only water used is from a, bore 200 feat below the surface, tapping an artesian crystal spring, and this lovely clear water is preserved in all its natural purity mid freshness'throughout the wholo process of manufacture. No chemicals or alum have therefore to be used for tho precipitation of suspended or other impurities, as is the cil-c with creek or reservoir water. It is also from 15 to 20 degrees cooler than the reservoir or creek water commonly used. 7. All Cordials, Syrups, etc., aro filtered three times before being bottled. This in part accounts for tho well-known brilliancy and sparkle of THOMSON'S Cordials and Aerated Waters. 8. The machinery is lined with Solid Silver, and all pumps are fitted with glass plungers instead of brass, thus preventing the possibility of metallic contamination. 9. All bottles are of clear crystal glas3, and aro first thoroughly hand-washed in a strong solution of permanganate of potash (no machinery being used for the wasliiiur), and thou rinsed twice with crystal spring water by a patent process that makes it impossible for any foreign substance to remaiu in them. Fresh spring water is used every time for washing and rinsing. 10. Cheap corks spoil good contents, and Thomsons are very particular in this respect. All their corks come from the famous Catalonia Cork Forests, and are first grade. Moreover, before being put into the bottle every cork is carefully selected and than thoroughly sterilised. 11. To make doublv sitro of absolute purity, as well as to prevent the slightest possibility of deterioration, EVERY BOTTLE IS PASTEURISED after it is hermetically sealed. This ensures PERMANENT GOOD QUALITY and absolute proof against germs. Thomson and Co. are tho only cordial manufacturers in the Dominion who have adopted pasteurisation. 12. THOMSON AND CO. guarantee their Ginger' Wine to be MATURED IN SEASON I'D OVK C\SKSFOI! TWO YEARS before being bottled, and their Raspberry Vim-gar and Li.wjuica Cordial to be MATURED FOR AT LEAST 18 MONTHS before being put on Ihe market. 13. In-lead of manufacturing gas from sulphuric acid, as is generally done, Thomson and Co. are now importing and using NATURAL GAS, collected from the famous Continental Wells, and specially compressed and ''iqucfied. The superiority of this gas over that produced by the old method was suhbicut to warrant them in adopting it for the benefit of their customers. 14. Thomson and Co. have been awarded 23 SPECIAL GOLD MEDALS and 31 FIRST CLASS CERTIFICATES in open competition ugaiu-t the world's best manufacturers. This is a record for Australasia, and speaks for itself. 15. Finally, " PURITY" is Thomson and Co.'s trade mark and watchword—from the washing and rinsing to the manufacturing, bottling, corking, labelling, capsuling, and wrapping of the bottles. Result: The people of Otago aro supplied with wholn- . some and refreshing summer drinks that cannot be excelled in any part of the world, and certainly CANNOT BE EQUALLED by anything on the New Zealand market, whether local or imported.
