Dear Sir, — If you get your friends on to our <£>\Speeial, you'll never 
satisfy them with any other. We send the 4 tons forward, and will meet 
vou in a reduction in the price at the end of the month. We could do no 
good by seeing Mr. lies, and our telling him that he has been getting cheap 
cakes at a cheap price is no more than you can tell him. We strongly 
advise you to push specials, and let the farmer know that if he wants 
cheaper cake he can have it. — Yours truly, pp. Walker & Smith.

Dear Sir, — Our Special 95 Ter Cent, is the finest cake made, and it is 
getting us much credit, and gaining ground wherever it goes. We enclose 
one of numerous analyses ; this one was sent by a customer from the bulk 
unknown to us. 
We offer you 10 tons monthly, June-August, at 11. 
20 „ „ September-December, at 71. 15s. 
We made large contracts thereat, and since then forward Linseed has 
considerably advanced. Hence this is a most favourable offer, and we want 
vou to push and make a trade in Special. — Yours truly, 
pp. W. & S., Ld.

Dear Sir, — We note yours of yesterday, and return Mr. lies' letter 
respecting the cake. If he did not know that he was buying second-class 
cake at 80*. per ton under the price and quality of 05 Per Cent, he ought to 
have done, and you ought to have enlightened him if he did not know. 
15ut surely he cannot plead ignorance in these days. — Yours truly, 
pp. W. & S.", Ld.

Dear Sir, — We can add nothing to our previous notes. Doth you and 
Mr. lies knew, or ought to have known, that a difference of oO.v. in the price 
of linseed-cake means 30s. difference in the quality. 
You have done sadly wrong in not telling your friends that they were 
getting cake 80«. commoner than best cake ; and how can we bear the blame 
that really is vours? — Yours truly, pp. W. & S., lid.
