There are two great grocery stores in Chicago which rank as ainong the largest, if not the largest, in the world. Their names are uot given in print as their competitors would naturally protest against such prominence. The names of the stores referred to will be given by letter to any honest inquirer. The manager of one of these housessays: "We are having a good trade on Postum, the health coffee made at Battle Creek Mich., by the Postum Cereal Co., Lim., and our experience is that people become steady customers when they once try it. It is known as as the genuine article of its kind and certainly is a charming beverage. I have brewed some of the counterfeits which are on the market, particularly one that has stolen part of the name of Postum Cereal." "If any one wants to kuow how good Postum really is let him try it along side of the counterfeit. The original article has great merit or there would not be so many trying to imítate it." A counterfeit is always an imitation, and only the genuine will satisfy careful buyers. The manager of the other store referred to was for nine years located among the coffee plantations of Java as a buyer of coffee for the English army He is reasonably supposed to be a coffee expert. Postum is used by his wife, children and himself at his own home. A reliable grocer will never offer a cheap or weak imitation of a genuine original article because , he happens to make alittle extra profit. But it is well to obierve that when genuine Postum Cereal coffee is ordered, that you get Postum and not a spurious imitation offered as "just as good."
