The Massachusetts spy, or, Thomas's Boston journal — Boston [Mass.], 1774-07-28 00:00:00, page 4

E great demand for this paper, has of
* ten occafioncd many good cujtomers being
disappointed, for which the pubiijber is very
ferry : He will, in future, endeavour to pre
vent any thing of -the like kind happening, so
long as he may have the honour of being an
hand-servant to the public.
The gloomy profped of public affairs, at
pref ent, in this devoted capital, has occasioned
feme preflihg Demands upon him, which with
great reluctance he informs his cujlomers, he
can by no means answer without their kind
ajfjiunce t He is loath to trouble them with a
* dunning’ advertisement, but his affairs make
it nteffary t His cujlomers in the country towns
in this province, and those in the other colonies,
he hopes will take proper notice of it, and
confider there is no pojfibility, (especially for a
young beginner) in carrying on bufmefs
without regular payments.
A work of this kind, it is well known is at
tended with great expence, and he begs leave to
mention, that the MASSACHUSETTS
SPY is a third larger than any News-Paper
publijhed in this province, and contains as much
News, as many Political Efays, as any in
America ; and is the cheapeji on the globe.

MERICAN INK-POWDER.
Experienced and found to be equal, if not foperior
to any imported, The excellent Qualities of this Powder
are, that it makes the best Hack Writing- Ink, and is very
convenient for Gentlemen, Merchants, Attornte, and
others that travel, it being not cumbersome and liable to
those Mischances that other Ink is. The Ink may he
made in large or small Quantities, as is most convenient.
As freezing is prejudicial to Ink, when the Weather
is cold thi, may be made with a little Brandy or
other Spirits not liable to freeze. One Quality peculiar
to this Ink Is that though the Writing be ezpofed to ex
treme wet, it alters not, but will remain as long as the
Paper enduies. This Powder decayeth not by keeping.
Note, the above Powder has an Ingredient in it that pre
vents Ink from becoming thick and
