T. Yervloet & Co., and the shares are in the hands of the owners» of this firm. We have no warehouses of our own, but have taken the lease for one, five, and ten years of some buildings ln the city and along.the quays, which is more economical and offers less risk of wholesale destruction by fire.

For goods of variable weight the warrants issued by us to bearer do not include weight risks, and the insurance is covered for the amount burned in the warrant. We are charging the same rates per 100 kilograms per month as our competi tors, including fire insurance, but we are open to contract with firms who regu- larly wish to keep a large stock under our care. We have accommodations to store all sorts of goods which are not dangerous, explosive, or highly combustible, or malodorous. We store American lard, bacon, dried fruits (apples, plums, prunes, apricots), oils, oleomargarine, tobacco, Bitch, etc. Goods stored under our care in the general government bonded stores ban remain there any length of time, provided the rent (storage dues) be paid either monthly or quarterly.
