The Manager of the Oisborne branch of th* New Zealand Dairy Company fa now in a position to supply th* beat butter procurable, for the cheapest price. He proposes to make a revolution in the existing order of thing* in this line, by which buyers will be at a great advantage. There will he no purchasing of inferior butter and re-selling it at double th* price ; the beet butter only is kept at th* Dairy Company's shop, and the public hav* th* benefit of the buslneas-lik* method of pur« chase.
