Recently, registered letters have been sent to patrons notify- ing them that the original uifer for exchange will be absolutely withdrawn at a specified time. Some have refused these letters. thinking their acceptance of them would make it obligatory to take the new boxes. We may sav that no such obligation would follow- as all who-now have the King Etiâ€" ward issue, and are satisfied with them, may continue their use: But if they want the larger boxes later on, they will have to pay the full price, $4.50.
