[OPEN LETTER.] TIJESSRS "RYCROFT, T TD., TOP OF SHORTLAND-ST., AUCKLAND. Dear Sirs.— We have pleasure in acknowledging your angry favour of even date. We are extremely sorry if our "Champion" nut cracker should have hurt your chimes, as we do not stock "caps or bells," but we nave in stock our "Champion" long-range gun, . wfcWi is favourably known to your good selves and the Flour Trust. WE NEVER DISPUTED THE FACT THAT YOU STOCKED YOUR FLOUR AND BISCUITS "AT THE TOP" OF SHORTLAND-ST., NOR THAT YOU WERE MAKING WATER CRACKERS. WILL YOU KINDLY ANSWER OUR QUERY RE DUTY ON BISCUITS, WHEN YOUR SLACK SEASON IS ON, AS THE INTELLIGENT PUBLIC ARE ANXIOUS? OF COURSE, YOU MUST AGREE WITH US THAT A PROTECTION DUTY OF £18 13/4 PER TON ON BISCUITS IS SIMPLY CRUEL, WHEN THE DUTY ON FLOUR IS ONLY 20/ PER TON. No doubt you have heard of the mnscleraising properties of "CHAMPION." If yon have not, we will only be too happy to give you absolute proof in our Concrete Store. Its factor of safety is 40ewt to the square foot. Will you let us know your opinion on food trusts, such as Biscuits and Floor, in time for next Wellington mail In conclusion, we are in no way connected with any Milling Trust, Association, or Combine, free in every respect, and we are the only Milling Coy in New Zealand that has the courage to nail our colours .to the mast. Trusting that yon have kept free from the measles, soliciting a continuance of your water-cracker wit. With best wishes. We remain. Yours affectionately, P.
