A FACT!!!

The Official Journal of Francs states —

"93,273 Hectos of Brandy were distilled from wine, September, 1856 to 1897. 2.353.119 Hectora of Brandy (?) were exported and consumed in France.

Vis, the exports and consumption of all kinds of Brandy were more than 25 ilrass the quantly of real Brandy distßled.

It follows that a very small proportion of Brandy exported from Farnce is made from Wine. We have for many years used a blend of FRENCH GRAPE BRANDY with WINE BRANDY from ether countèles, This enables us to sell ■ PURE WINE BRANDY at a On Fixed Deposits for 12 months... 4 per cent moderate cost, and by judicious blending the characteristics of the French Spirt are retained.
