Some time ayo ike 'Moard of Of rade fixed; the price at which fiour could be sold by the miller to the middleman, but the desire to safeguard the interests of the consumer was mollified by the omission to also fix a price at which the middleman must supply the co?vsumer. Shis weave determined; to rectify, and have resolved to sell our fiour direct from the mill to the public in any quantities from 25lbs upwards, and charge therefor the w/joUsah price fixed by the soard of Srade. Vou will at once see that by this course the profits hitherto made by the distributors will be entirely saved to the consumer. dor 25 years we have been supplying the public, from Auckland to the f&luffi, with our product, and the admittedly high standard of t! impress n Slour has been gamed as the result of our wide experience and enterprise in installing the latest and most scientific principles for producing the best article, and the fact of ofi fiour having received more awmds, in the face of keen competition, than any other fiour in the dominion proves that the question of its quality is beyond dispute. #e have only one quality, and that is the lest; and from to-day we have only one price, and that ts one that camvot be under-cut by any mill in the A comparison of our prices with those charged by the middlemen will at once convince you of the advantages of dealing direct with the manufacturers, who 'pledge- themselves to supply the consumer with the acme of quality at wholesale rates. • \ m.s ■innovation will doubtless meet with some criticism from people whose profits are being put into the pockets of the consumers, but we do not shirk from discharging ivhat we consider a conscientious duty to oursehes and to the users of our flour.
