“Containing
all sorts of currant and spicy articles to suet all tastes, and sold piping hot
at a 'raisinable' price". Prospectus: "We do not pretend to be a
universal panacea, for all the ills which human flesh is subject to; we have no
intention of discussing Home Rule, Female Franchise, the Domestic Policy of the
Japanese, or the correct size of beerbottles; but, at the same time, we have an
aim in life, like our price it is a high one, and we are not ashamed to admit
it. We exist for one object and one only. It is to make money, and that as
largely and as quickly as possible. We shall therefore make it our constant
endeavour to give the least possible value for the highest price, and so 'fill
full' he law of the profits'" (no 1 p.2).
