The Storekeepers may be to blame for pushing the Bale of the article on which they have the largest profit ; but the public have a certain and simple remedy in their own hands by asking for, and insisting on being supplied with, the Coffee bearing the name of "Baeeon, Gbant & Co." on the wrapper. The retail price, 2s per lb., will not be grudged by any who can appreciate EEALLY FINE COFFEE. ■j\|ITCHELL & CO., MEECHANTS, Deestreet, desire to intimate to their customers that they are prepared to supply in any quantity the various qualities of COFFEE prepared by Baeeon, Geant & Co., Dunedin, all of which they can with confidence recommend as being at least equal to the best of their several kinds ever introduced into this market. i BARRON, GRANT & CO.'S COFFEE.
