QILLANDERS' TEAS have already made a name for themselves over the Nortli of Scotland, jint by extrcvagant and untrue statements, but by being what they are represented, viz., Honest Value, and value which we challenge any firm to beat. And following up the motto, "The Highlands for the Hig^h- landers," we hope soon to see the day when there will not be a family in the North of Scotland who will think of sending their orders for the refreshing beverage further south than the Capital of the Highlands, and towards accomplishing this object we in^ite you to send or call for samples of our 1/6, 1/8, I/IO and 2/2 TEAS, and are conMdent that all giving them a ftiir trial will be convinced of their merits. All that is stipulated for is "Fair field and no favour." __^_ QILLANDERS' STORES Tea Dealers & Groeers, Queen's Gate, INVKRNKSS. CDe inDerness Courier, ESTABLISHED 1817.
