THE PAPER-MILL at Trenton being now
X nearly compleated, the subscribers think it ne
cessary to inform the Inhabitants of New-Jersey there
of, that they may save their RAGS for the pur
pose of making PAPER. —The very great scarcity of
that ufeful article must point out to every considerate
person the necessity of laving every hired of linen and
cotton. —They would particularly address themselves
to the good women of this and the neighbouring
State, but they are sensible that their prudence will
dictate to them so good a measure.
The highest price will be given for any quantity
delivered at their refpedive dwelling-houses, or at
the paper-mill; and also by any of the following
persons, viz. William Calvert, in Mount-Holly; Ed
evard Brooks, jun. or Thomas Watson, jun. in Bor
dentown ; John Denton, in Princeton ; and Richard
Leedom, in Bucks county, Pennfylvahia.
