The besl. advertisement is quality in the bottle and quality. lias always been the motto of Messrs. Jackie and Co., Distillers, Ltd., the proprietors of the famous "WHITE HORSE' 1 Whisky. They have consequently not the same margin of profit for indiscriminate advertising as some of their rivals. They depend mainly on personal recominondation.—Advt,
