D. & Co. have now fully placed this advantageous system t of business within the reach of the colonial public, and here remind all that, by dealing direct with them, the actual Manufacturers, every customer eaves three large profits—the London Wholesale Dealers' Profit, the Colonial Wholesale Dealers' Profit, and the Colonial Retail Dea'ers' Profit—in all ovee one hxtkdbed PEE CENT.
