In response to many repeated requests, Nelson Moate and Co. at length deided to supply , both a cocoa and also a coffee of such a high standard as would secure for both that wide and general recognition and appreciation for so many years attained—and'retained— by this well-known firm's brands of tea. It is almost unnecessary to point out that Nelson Moate and Co. have exceptional facilities for so doing. Their long and ihtimate knowledge of the world's markets; purchasing in such large quantities; having secured the services of apecialists in both these articles and made the mosticomplete arrangements generally ; enables them to supply both a cocoa and coffee of auch exceptional purity, quality, flavour and general excellence, as will ensure an everincreasing demand. Ask for; insist upon getting; and give both a fair trial; and you will be fully convinced. r~ Warner's corsets are so perfect in 7 pattern and workmanship that they will fit perfecly, and not become useless until the whole garment is completely worn out. Every pair .guaranteed by local drapers not to rust* break or, tear. Prices from 6a to 17a 6d per pair.*
