prime necessity and universal use, should be produced as free 

 as possible frorn any extraneous matter, and especially from, 

 any deleterious substances, the Salt Co. of Onondaga is de- 

 termined that no Salt sent to market under its brand, shall 

 fail to be of the very best quality. It invites the attention of 

 all dealers and consumers, and especially of Packers and Dai-
