NOTICE.
Although we fully appreciate the hardship the slump in the value of the local dollar works upon the major- ity of the public, we are nevertheless reluctantly compelled to raise the prices of all of our brands of lubricat- ing oils. We have held off in hopes that the dollár might increase in value. Our hopes have been in vain, and con- sequently on February 1st, prices will be substantially increased, and shall remain at the new level until such time as the dollar gets back to around 1/10d.
