BAD COFFEE has been bo long an article of consumption in New Zealand, that public taste has almost degenerated to a preference of the cheap and nasty compounds sold as Coffee, instead of the fragrant berry. The ; Storekeepers may be to blame for pushing the sale 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 " Babbon, Gbakt & Co." on the wrapper. The retail price, 2s per lb., will not be grudged by any who can appreciate REALLY FINE COFFEE. ITCHELL & CO., MERCHANTS, Deestreet, desire to intimate to their customers that they are prepared to supply in any quantity the various qualities of COFFEE prepared by Babbon, Gbant & 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.
