TfIHELP Y6I to make ends meet Householders will be glad to learn that the following circular-letter is being sent out by the Flour Mills. SB ear Sir, — ■ftaimaie, let September, SPronv to-day we take a step of very considerable importance to ourselves, and also to the distributors and consumers of our flour. Some time ago the Board of ffrade fixed the price at which fiour could be sold by the miller to the middlemanf hut, the desire to safeguard* the interests of the consumer was nullified by the omission to also fix a price at which, the middleman must supply the consumer. Uhis xve are determined to rectify, and, have resolved, to sell our fiour direct from the mill-to the publie infamy quantities from 2Bibs upwards , and charge, therefor the wQoUsale priee fixed by the Board of Brade. Vou will at once see that by this course the profits hitherto made by the distributors will be entirely saved to the consumer. ■ S'or 25 years we have been swpplying the public, from Auckland to the Bluff; with our product) and the admittedly high standard of 11 impress u HHour has been gained as the result of pivr wide experience and enterprise in installing the latest and most scientific principles for producing the best article, and the fact of our fiour having received more awards, in the face of keen competition, thaw any other fiour in the dominion proves that the question of its quality is beyond dispute. ife have only one quality, and that is the best; and from to-day we have only one price, and that is one that cannot be under-cut by any mill in the dominion. 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 siopply the consumer with the acme of quality at ivholesale. rates. ffhis mnovahon will doubtless meet with some criticism from people whose profits are being put into the pockets of the consumers, but toe do not shirk from discharging what we consider a conscientious duty to ourselves and to the users of our flour , ffe would therefore request that before ordering elseivhere you ivill communicate with us direct, and, vjc have no doubt that the satisfaction that will result ivill tend to our further mutual advantage, - Price List; Delivery to any house in the Borough (and farmers are urged to call at the mill when they are in town and get their flour, bran, and pollard) from to-day, at the following prices FLOUR: 2001 b IGO 50 25 30/15/6 4/BRAN: Per Ton Sack of ISOlbs 160 »» £3 15s. 8s - 7s POLLARD: Per Ton Sack of 2Oolbs »» £6 Iss Iss 6d NETT CASH.
