Solicitors. - i The undersigned begs to inform his numerous customers, and the public generally, and espe cially the A\-orking classes, that he has just received Direct fhom England, and imported to his own order, another SHIPMENT of the CLOTHING FROM THE WEST END OF LONOON r, 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 loav prices, OAving to the fact that being Bought for Cash a very large discount A\ ras allowed him, in con sequence of dull times prevail! ig at home. The public are well aware th; t the advertiser has the best chance of ojferii g B _hgains to them than any other Clothier in t jwii, for the simple reason that he keeps no loi'£ array of assistants, but attends to th« wants ot his customers him self, being on the premises from 7 am. 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 aboA-e, increase of custom has been his roAvard. His Stock throughout has always been noted for the best and well spoken of, no kuebish finding a place on his shelves; and he makes it a rule never to Buy mother people's Old Rubbish at Auction also,; but always keeps replenishing it from the Best Home Manufacturers, selected by, bis own buyer. When any of the Stook becomes Out of Date, instead of trying to fass it off on Cus tomers as Bankrupt's Stock at enormous sacrir flee, ho prefers getting rid of it, aiuL. .-ndiP-,* it himself to auction. He does not believe in having his Creditors.Selling his Goods by Auction, but sells them himsejf to the public at a LowjFiguke, acting on the old adage, " Small Profits and Quick Returns," There is no X'UFFr ING about him. His advertisements are always genuine, and are paid for _>ut ofd-hf 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 let. him "rip."
