Our reference books contain 'several million names, and our extensive connection enables us to make special ierms with the most suitable wholesale' manufacturers of each class of goods, so that even after add ing our shipping commission of 1-J to 5 per cent, (according to amount) our prices still compare favourably with those of the manufacturers. We supply goods made specially to aay style, quality or price; and on^receipt of indent, with full and clear instructions, and remittance of cash, or produce to cover our knowledge of the trade enables us to place the order at once in the best hands, and the goods are promptly forwarded.
