A. & T. INGLIS, Direct Importers. we have no end of all Kind. 0 i talk about Ijeing Direct lm porters. It seems to lie the great aim of even tlic mo«t Every Day Retail Shopkeeper to cover up urnl co., tltt l f o( . t Umt buyl his lew out* oi foods from I),media Warehouse., ttU(J t>> ilJ1|)lvS(( l)|>on t|l( , gcnerft , public that he purchased first-hand fr,, m (he manufacturer. Of course the tremendous advantage tlmt lir , gllilK . d> and lLa " pull " that is obtained on would-be competitors, by those cm,,able of carrying out this system oi Direct Imputations are responsible for th«se desperate but vain efforts to alter luc,s ; but the claims of these so-called, self-styled importers to bo considered us such are, to those wbo know, at least amusing, ii nothing else. Many of them there are whose dement acquaintance with the kuaweM of importations is confined to reading th shipping columi* in the daily pap*.. Others rest their claims as importers oi, the .lender foundation of a package or two received from over-tea once in a while. But, there is another side to the question, and thin h where WE come in. We are importers in the strict se.se .>f the word. There is no makf* belicve aoout our importations, and we nr<- not bei inn-is at the business. Year in, and year out, and right through the jeur, our well known brand (A.T.1.1 is to be found on the manifeils of vcss.js entering Dunedia Harbor, and shipment nfter shipment arrives for us from the Ihnt.d Kingdom, America, und elsewhere.

Having sicired our Goods to the Ijcst possible advantage, we give our cuitomnri the full benefit of the great saving effected Our large turnover enables us to rest content with a profit quite inadequate for the ordinary retailer, tun! the result is that we Rive better value than you can hope to get elwwhere.

There is no gel uway from it; it is hard solid fact. We never talk at random, and our statement is proved tl \ei arid over again by the great bulk of the buying public in these parts.
