The undersigned begs to inform his numerous customers, and the public generally, and espe cially the working classes, that he has just received Direct from England, and imported to his own order, another SHIPMENT of the CLOTHING FROM THE WEST END OF LONDON, of the same Fashionable Styles and and Materials which were so much admired here a short, time ago. They will be sold at a Great Reduction on the former low prices, owing to the fact that being Bought for Cash a very largo discount was allowed him, in con sequence of dull times prevailing at home. The public are well aware that the advertiser has tho best ohauce of offering Bargains to them than any other Clothier in town, for tho simple reason that he keeps no long array of assistants, but attends to tho wants of his customers him self, being on the premises from 7 a.m. till 10 p.m., and takes especial pride in seeing them well suited, both as regards Quality, Style, and Price. During his long business career, by attending to the above, increase of custom has been his roward. His Stock throughout has always been noted for the best and well-spoken of, no rubbish finding a place on his shelves, and he makes it a rule never to Buy other people's Old Rubbish at Auction also, but always keeps replenishing it from the Best Home Manufacturers, selected by his own buyer, When any of the Stock becomes out of Date, instead of trying to pass it off on Cus tomers as Bankrupt's Stock at enormous sacri fice, he prefers getting i-id of it, and sending it himself to auction. He does not believe in having his Creditors Selling his Goods by Auction, but sells them himself to the public at a Low Figure, acting on the old. adage, " Small Profits and Quick Returns." There is no puff ing about him. His advertisements are always genuine, and are paid for out of his own pocket, and not out of those of his creditors. They know they are always sure of having their claims paid in full, and so lets him "rip," The proof of the above-mentioned can always be found if the public will only look at the manifests of the different ships always arriving here from London, I. Levy's name always figuring pro minently as a Lawge Importer. SPECIAL NOTICE.—As I. Levy is a Profes sional Tailor, and has been a long time in business here, it stands to reason that he knows the Style of Goods to suit the public, and no Customer has any occasion to leave the Shop without the d i tfprent purchases fit to perfection- A S PKOlaju JFeatpjus is one ease of Ivo-iv aha Old Fashioned Styles of extra big size Men's Trousers and Vests, and Shirts, length from 44 inches to 17£ collars (a rarity in any city).
