He answered,No, sir ; we take the responsibility for themanufacture of no goods made by otherpeople, and dont intend to. We have thename of the manufacturer on the bag, and,if there are any defects, the housekeeperknows who to blame. We, of course, takethe responsibility of keeping it, while in ourstore, free from damp, which has a badeffect on any flour. We keep, at all times,a display of the various brands we handlein our window, and find that this undoubt-edly brings business. THE CANADIAN GROCER 83 ALWAYS TO THE FRONT.
