WATER.

Throughout the Manufacture of this justly celebrated brand of Table Waters all ingre dients used are guaranteed of purest quality, The machinery used is the most modem type and we have gone to great expense to erect our plant on latest scientific principles which has such a great advantage over the old process of manual labour still in vogue through the Colony, thereby further ensuring the purity of our products.

The Manufactory is under the personal supervision of a QUALIFIED ENGLISH CHEMIST, who has devoted years to bring this branch of the trade to perfection.

The Water used is analysed daily to en sure of its absolute purity, and when we say that our method of manufacture has been! approved by Sanitary and Medical Authori: ties, it is in itself a sufficient guarantee.
