COLEMAN, and OLEVER take this early opportunity
to return thanks to. all those who.have- been kind
enough to favour them with their custom in the bleaching
business for this season, hoping that they, have given such
fatisfadion as may gain their future favour for the ensuing
year, as there has been no. complaint excepting that the
goods were too long in hand, which was in a great measure
owing to the bad colour of the American flax, but we in
tend to have the place in much better order,, and to make
quicker defpatch the next year? The subscriber has had long
experience in water rotting, flax, and at length found out
the best method, which he thinks himfelf in duty bound to
communicate to h's countrymen, for the best and quicker
method of manufacturing flax, viz. Pull your flax when the
feed is well formed, and the lower leaves begins to fail. Take
off the feed with a tripling comb, dry it well in the fun, and
it will become ripe ; then take your flax before it is dry, and
put it into a handing pool of water, press it well down, and
if the water be very hot, try a handful of.it by drying it in
the fun ; but if the fua does not shine at that time dry it be
fore a fire; and by that method, you may know when it is
done, and prevent overdoing it.. I did ray flax the fame way
this year, and it is good. I have had a piece of linen made
of it, and fnall have it fiLto make up in a few days, though
the flax has not. been pulled two months. I mud allo inform
my customers that I have removed the Rage from the sign of
the Larab, the corner cf Cherry-Alley, to Mr. Rudolph
Bonnet's in Race-ftreer; near the corner of Third-dreet,
where I expert to meet with good usage, and shall now take
in and deliver goods at George Zeller's, nearly opposite
Mr. Bonner':, which place is mere convenient, it being a pri
vate houfe. & JACOB COLEMAN.,
