GREAT WESTMINSTER DAIRY COMPANY.—
The COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT beg leave to
acquaint the Public, that since their last Advertisement they have
very considerably increased the number of their Establishments.
This they have found it necessary to do from the increase of con-
nexion. They are likewise in treaty for other Establishments in
districts of London to which originally it was not contemplated to
:tend the Business of the Company. These measures the Com-
mittee have deemed it expedient to adopt, from the great and unex-
pected demand made upon them for Milk. Of the different sta-
tions of the Company the public will from time to time be in-
formed.

Orders for the present, addressed to the Great Westminster Dairy
Company, at their following establishments, the Committee pledge
themselves shall meet with the most punctual attention :—New
Tothill-street, Westminster: Somerset Farm, Kilburn : Comp-
ton-street, Soho-square ; 4, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square ;
High-street, Bloomsbury; Wig:note-street, Caverdish.square ;
acid at No. 103, Quadrant, Regent-street.
By order of the Committee,
Quadrant, February 25, 1825. 'WILLIAM LEE.
N.B. The Committee take this opportunity of informing the Pro-
prietors, that a Statement of the Accounts will be laid before them
quarterly, from the Ist of February inst., being the day upon which
they commenced Business.
The Committee feel it due to themselves to contradict the report
now in circulation--" that they are each to have 2001. a year as a
remuneration for their services." This rumour is wholly without
founds:ion. No stipend whatever has been determined upon, and
this is an arrangement which will be made to depend entirely upon
the success of the Company.

TO THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, AND PUBLIC OF
THE UNITED KINGDOM,
OSEPH COOPER and SON, LOOKING-GLASS
119 and FURNITURE WAREHOUSE, No. 93, FISHOPS.
GATE-STREET WITHIN.
As general Traders in our particular Line, we have, for half
century, given especial satisfaction to a highly respectable and in.
dulgent connexion, to whom we take this public opportunity °fire
pressing our zealous and determined intention to merit a cocci. •
nuation of their future patronage.
With the change of the times and circumstances, however. which
have s^rved to give a new feature to the speculation of trade, cup
must necessarily vary our arrangement in busmen.;
indeed, it Las
become the more imperative on men of capital and inftuenee in their
respective circles to consult the public necessities, because, owing
to the change in the value of property, the manufletueer and the
artisan are now suffering from the severe competition existing in
regard to prices, and because too many individuals make price more
than quality the leading object in view.
This state of things has given rise to a class of speculators who
have endeavoured to benefit themselves, by offering podia very
inferior manufacture, which, though apparently cheap, yield that
greater profit; they are showy and decorated, bpt mar.ufactured
without regard to durability, and consequently prove, in the melt,
a serious disappointment to the purchaser.
There has also existed an opposite extreme . • another elan of
tradesmen have made such an exorbitant demand for theft welder,
as to create surmise' in the minds of purchasers,
_how the great dia.
parity in the charge of different houses can be 'ififilaNettieily
plained ; we shall leave the question as it rests, and enter upon our
more immediate subject.
To be just in our dealings as tradesmen, we must have a pmftti
but we shall be satisfied with a moderate one, and therefore step
between those establishments who offer the inferior manufactured
Furniture, without regard to he quality; and those, on the contrary,
whose extraordinary charges so justly alarm the prudent buyer, by
employing none but first-rate workmen, give them wages tie:tab/a
to the times as they really are, and engage our capital in the pure
chase of none but the beat n:ateriala, and offer the character and ate
dit of an old.eatablished House to the more immediate patronage or
the Nobility, Gentry, and Public of the United Kingdom.
JOSEPH COOPER and SON, in thus offering the.nature ef
their business to notice, trust that they shall not be eonsaderedas
attempting what they cannot maintain and support, but prove,
that for splendor, taste, and solidity, co Establishment in the
Metropolis can surpass them, and at prices peculiarly commanding,
