S. 1). & Co. have bow fully placed this advantageous system, of business within the reach of the colonial public, and here remind all that, by dealing direct with them, the actual Manufacturers, every customer saves three large profits—the London Wholesale Dealer' Profit, the Color.ial Wholesale Dealers' Profit, and the Colonial Retail Dea'erw' Profit—in oil otke ode htodbed PES CENT.
