Manufactureres ask
us to maintain the following prices
on London Purple.

10¢ lb by Bbl. 12¢ by keg, 15¢ lb for [?]

We do not know of any one who is
cutting on these prices. They are
certainly low enough. We have
sold a good deal this year, and
have had no complaints.

Yours Truly
C. H. Ward & Co.

A man was in to day, who said you used
a good deal of it, and did not know we
[were agents?] for it, or that we had it to sell
hence the above. We respectfully solicit
your [aides?].
