Containing new Cellar Counts, was mailed April

mant and in fine condition. Can be shipped on 
an hour notice. Good assortments still to offer. 
W’c don’t often use “testimonials” because we have never 
(liouK:lit that they carried nruch weight. It would indeed be a 
sorry tuisiness whicli did not have some satisfied customers 
and,'naturally, it is tlie commendatory letters that are used, 
not tlie other kind. AV'e can’t claim to adways please all our 
customers but we are glad to say we usually do,—that is how 
our business has been built up to its present dimensions. 
Here are two letters which, for special reasons, we can’t resist 
pi'inting. 
'riiis, because of the extreme distance and the unfavorable 
ti-ansportation conditions:
