Would you believe it, if we undertake to take not less than twelve bottles a day daring the half we can get them for a penny each, and might sell them for three-halfpence.

That would make a great increase in the demand, I fancy, and every bottle we can sell, we make a dear halfpenny profit.

The same with the sweets.

You can get most sorts for 9 or 10 pence a pound, and if we sell at a penny an ounce, you see we get 7 or 8 pence profit.

I should vote for only getting the best kind of sweets, and making rather less profit than that.
