GREAT B JEQTAIN - AND IRELAND I The unfurling of the Flag of England at Levuka will give an impetus to the traffic now Teneaged in with that Infant Crown Colony. Already Fijian .^uear, a credit to British enterprise and Native labour is being retailed at 4£d by J. BbAIR, 223. Queen street, equal to West Indian of same class. FL< 'UR I which constitutes the grtat Bread struggle of life, BLAIR is harpy to say is a £1 a ton cheaper This benefit he allows each purchaser. FRESH BUTTER, the leading luxury—nay, necessity of every table, he guarantees to supply of best description. Present price, Is 6d, may be 3d cheaper any day. And if to aid and strengthen Mr Goldie's praiseworthy regimen, " cleanliness" (cleanliness everywhere), the Soap manufacturers have reduced their prices ; so BLAIR, ever anxious almost electrically to com municate when a penny can be saved on your Grocer's bUls, announces GOOD USEFUL SOAP at a price almost beneath consideration, namely 61 per bar. His TEAS ara the same high class that have secured for him the confidence of so many families in town and country. Every attention devoted to the purchasing, and it is au admitted fact in Japan and China that *' the older the tree the better the Tea." The shrubs which supply the Nobles of Japan and the Court of China with this favourite beverage (Fine Tea) are said in many instances to be 500 years old, and its from such valuable plants as these comes Blair's Splendid 3s Tea. .
