American drinks are so popular in this country that they may almost be looked upon as an institution . Of their many merits , when well made , there can be no doubt , and Messrs .

Their Grand Duchess Ice Soda Water Machine at the last Exhibitionwas a model
, of simplicity and elegance ; their flavouring essences are of the best quality ; and their materials for the concoction of their favourite beverages are as durable as they are handy . Should the approaching summer at all rival in heat that of last year , there is certain to be as great a demand for the agreeable compounds purveyed by this firm , and in all probability a still greater demand for the materials used in making them .

American drinks are so popular in this country that they may almost be looked upon as an institution . Of their many merits , when well made , there can be no doubt , and Messrs . Dows , Clark , and Co ., of Frith-street , Soho , who supply the materials and implements for their production , are the recipients of abundant testimony to the excellence of their goods . Their Grand Duchess Ice Soda Water Machine at the last Exhibitionwas a model
, of simplicity and elegance ; their flavouring essences are of the best quality ; and their materials for the concoction of their favourite beverages are as durable as they are handy . Should the approaching summer at all rival in heat that of last year , there is certain to be as great a demand for the agreeable compounds purveyed by this firm , and in all probability a still greater demand for the materials used in making them .
