From the able manner m which you discharged the duty of the office during the time you formerly held that position, we have no doubt that you will again discharge the important duty of the office with advantage to the borough ; and should you accede to our request we will use our best endeavors to secure your return :—Donald Williamson, H. C. Segers, Thos. bealy. (Here follow the signatures of 45 other electors.) To Mkssbs D. Williamson, H. C. Segeks, i Thomas Skaly, and the 45 Electors who signed the above requisition. Genilemen, —As you are no doubt aware my own extensive business is such that I should consider my own interest best if I would decline your kind 1 requisi tion; but m consequence of having been repeatedly asked by some of my friends to allow myself to be again nominated as chief Magistrate of this town, and the pressure brought to bear upon me by the deputation who presented the above, I have reluctantly consented to contest the coming Election. If returned, I can only promise you, Gentlemen, to serve the Borough as faithfully as I have done m the past. Yours very truly, Hugofriedlander. 11 65 MANY years since we had the pleasure to introduce to the public the BUFFALO MEAT DOGS BISCUITS, now so extensively used m the principal kennels of the world. Sinoe that time we have made many im portance improvements m their manufacture —improvements not of the nature of veget able compounds which may be added to any food of a trifling cost, but of the nature to produce good hard flesh and muscle, ingre dients which no other Biscuit or Dog Food possesses, and for which we have received numerous medals and high recommendations, amongst which we may mention that of Pro fessor Dj Zurn, who after many careful analysis atid experiments pronounced these biscuits to be of the greatest excellence, and to contain double the quantity of nourish ment that is to be found m the flesh, thus fanning the best and most successful food for dogs that is possible to produce. It is important to notice that every biscuit ia stamped—"Buffalo Meat, Trade Mark," the quality of which we guarantee. Twenty shillings per cwt, carriage paid] SOLE MANUFACTURERS, W. G.
