NICOLL'S NEW REGISTERED PALETOT
11 has all those advantages which secured such general popu-
larity to Messra. Nicoll's original Paletot, that is to say, it avoids
giving to the wearer an outre appearance, so that professional
men ono all others can use it during morning and afternoon iu
or out of doors. Secondly, there in an absence of unnecessary
seams, well known to secure a more graceful outline, as well as
to effect a great saving in wear; the latter advantage is coast-
derably enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly-
stitched binding, the mode of effe ting which is patented. Great
exertions are being made to supply Messrs. Nicoll's agents
throughout the country and the colonies with an assortment of
this new garment simultaneously with the display in London,
but it is necees•,ry to inform the public that a 1 Messrs. Nicoll's
manufactures may be distinguish.:d by a trade mark, consisting
of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this Is fraud,
and may be thus detected. If the garment is dark•ooloured, the
label has a black ground, with the firm's name and address
woven by the Jacquard loom in gold•coloured silk ; if the gar-
ment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red
silk letters. Each Paletot is marked in plain figures at a fixed
moderate price, and is of the best materials. In London the
NEW REGISTERED PALETUT can alone be had of H.J.
and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regent.street, and 22,
Cornhill.
