Said Roe and Company hope for encouragement
from the public, as they a e determined to pay the
firiaeft attention to bufinets, and, as far as in their
power, give fttisHfbon to those who pleafc to favour
them with their custom.
They hope to be excused the common mode of tel
ling the public, their goods are remarkably low : they
wiffi, and only wait, for an opportunity of convincing
them, by shewing the qu i*y, and telling the prices
of their goofs, which they flatter themselves, will be
the best and most pleasing method to convince the
purchasers that their prices are moderate.
