THE suhscriher am the manusactnrer of SNL'FF
and TOBACCO, who formerly relided at [Nu
denshm—g, in ["my-lum], and at this time have a 'qnan
tity of very good old snuff by me, ;rciwn better by
age, which l would willingly dispose of by wholcsctlc
on very reasonable terms; that is, in such a manner
as to allow the purchaser a very good profit in i'c'siail
ing it. Those who incline to become custom-ss-rs to
me may be furnished with any quantity on notice
'given, and it shall either be packed in H'ctstcu's m
Kippen's bottles, or in country made pots, agreeable
to orders. From my own observation, pflll'inzism in
Virginia and fllarjlzuul is not so dormant but it may
be awztkencd by a proper application to a pcrshn's
real interest; and I am convinced that "many Gentle
men, through choice, nnd taste likewise, would prefer
mine to foreign snuff, provided they could he furnish
ed with it' in their own ncighhonrhood; which induces
me to think that the Gentlemen merchants can have
no Objections to procure it for them, when I chn assure
them that customary commissions will be allowed them,
Or that they \\*i]l_ have a sufficient profit in retailing
it. However, such Gentlemen as would take one
dozen bottles, or more, at a time, and lodge psiiyincnt
for the same with some merchant convenient to them,
shall have it at my wholesale prices; and l will en
Fage to deliver the same to their orders at general
, anding places, on both sides of the rivers P-zfzsszwmct—k
and Rappalvmmack, and at Norf'aI/S for Gentlemen on
Tori and fable: rivers, they paying pac'tasisire and
frei ht, the charge whereof will be very small, and
shal not for et to recommend it to the care of their
merchant. ?he prices will be as follow: For one
dozen, or more, of snuff, commonly called plain
Scotch, in Kippm's bottles, three dollsiirs [ner dozen;
in Weston's bottles five dollars [fer dozen; and in pro
portion for pots. I now wno cnule it, may nzlve (ne:
snuff packed in bulk, either in large pots os twelve
to twenty pounds each, or in tight cnlks from thirty
or forty pounds each, to four or five hundred pounds,
at two shillings and eight pence, filaiy-lzmsil currency,
)" pound, payable in dollars, nt seven shiliings and
six pence each, exclusive of the charge for pot or cnsk.
I likewise make round high coast at two (hillings ;ind
six ence, rappee at four shillings, and S/umi-ss/l snnsc'
at ve shillings, Virginia currency, ]n-r pound, when
six pounds, or more, are taken at a time. The two
latter kinds, either plain or scented, at choice of the
purchaser. I would gladly enforce un sscnconmgcmcnt
of my mnnufacture by a reiteration ui my good opi
nion*0f the taste of the Gentlemen zmd Ladies- os l'ir
gim'avand ["my/and, as well as of th: rectdinchss and
willin css of the merchants to oblige them, by taking
quantities of me for the purpose os rctniling; and
would recommend it to Gentlemen at a distance to
give their orders to their merchant, who will forward
them to me; all which orders shall be strictly and
punctually compliedwith, both as to the kinds of
shuff they may direct, ands in every other respect.
Those Gentlemen merchants who may receive snuss
from me, to be distributed by them to Gentlemen in
their neighbourhood, shall be entitled to [0 per (t')!!
for their trouble; and] only request from them a rc
mittance of the balance, after deducting their com
missions. A collection of all orders that may be offer
ed them is therefore desired, and their forwarding
them to me immediately by post, or otherwise, will
be acknowledged a particular savour. I wouldlike
wise furnish cut t-bbacco of two sorts, z-iz. shzxsszsi- and
saffron; the first for chew, the latter for the.- pipe;
provided orders of consequence enough to induce me
to manushcture it are timely received. The price of
each will be nine pence, Virgiuictz c11rrcncy,;-er pound,
by the dozen, and in smaller quantities at ten pence
per pound. I have now only to observe that those
Ladies and Gentlemen who are not already acquaint
ed with the quality of my snuss and tobacco (which
I affirm to be good) may receive information from
many Gentlemen concerning it, in most parts of Vir
ginia and Asarjlaml, who have herctosorc had triul
of both; and I wish for no other rccommcndntioh. l
humbly conceive that the interest of the public is con
cerned in the encouragement of country manusactures,
and I shall, in future, is properly supported by it, in
this very useful branch of its commcrce, gl'ntcfully
acknowledge the favoursthnt may be conferrcd on
the public's very-humblc servant, -
