A long experience in the manufacture of tbe Harper, tbe large capital of tbe Distiller which enables him to bold bis Whisker until it bis fully ma tured. together with the fuet that the Whiskey is bought by and shipped me to direct from the Distillery accounts for tbe unvarying satisfaction it has given those best ednoated to a lino Whiskey.
