SUPERINTENDENT or wonks•
Mr. John Birch.
This Company has been formed for the purpose of manufactur-
ing a sufficient supply of Plate Glass to meet the increased demand,
to remedy the numerous evils which at present exist in the manu-
factories, to accommodate sad encourage the retail trade, and by a
regular and spirited system to supersede the introduction of foreign
manufacture', by supplying the consumers with the various descrip-
tions of the Article, which it is et present a matter of great diffi-
culty to obtain.
The illiberal system adopted by some of the Manufacturers has
long been a subject of just complaint, and the impossibility on the
part of the Tradesman to execute the orders of his customers, from
the confined supply, has induced the Trade to form the present
Company.
It has been promoted and will be supported and conducted by a
large body of the most respectable dealers in the article, and while
it pledges itself to form neither coalition nor monopoly, will pro-'
coed steadily to effbet its objects.
It is proper to observe, that this undertaking is not for the pur-
pose of speculation, but for erecting and completing ample works
for carrying on the manufacture.
Every necessary information has been obtained, plans have been
matured, calculations made, competent persons engaged, and re-
quisite steps taken for the immediate prosecution ut the several
objects of this Association.
It is ascertained that the proposed Capital will be amply sufficient
to carry into effect every object desired ; and calculating on a re-
duction in prices of the article, a very handsome half-yearly diri.
dend will accrue to the proprietors.
After the numerous applications that have been made for Shares
in the above Company, amounting to upwards of One Million of
Money, exclusive of the Capital invested by the promoters of the
measure, little doubt can exist of the ultimate success.

• Get money—and honestly, Tom, Wpm can,

But get it b; all means; fcirWealtls makes the man.'
This ltsson well cono'cl, Tom set out then in life,

With honor and honesty ever at strife;
And wanting of merit its pristine desert,
The vacuum supplied with unprincipled art ;
And av'rice and envy the enterprise backing,
Commenc'd imitation of Warren's Jet Blacking;
And sole his invention alleged, in the name
Of that by experience long sanctioned and fame.
Thus roistering his trash on the public, pursuits
Destructive assail'd all his customers' boots,
On which thought incesantly labour still moil'd
The gloss remain'd dormant, the leather was spoil d.
A proof of the genuine at once to command,
From 30, the Mart of Renown in the Strand,
An amateur ordered a dozen of blacking
And, that there might be no publicity lacking,
A summons sustained for recovery of debt,
Incurr'd fora purchase of Tom's assumed jet.
Your worship, the false and the true now between,
The detente, the Amateur said, ' shall be seen
Instanter, in evidence even by my dog !'
Two unpolished boots then of blacking ineog.
Were placed on the table, and brushes applied,
When one to a mirror eeem'd truly allied,
The other's brown shade while no an could subdue ;
The dog, thus distinguishing which was the true,
Now gambol'd his reflected figure about,
The other's seeking within hk companion, pull'd out
A bottle thus labell'd,—" Detection not lacking
On base imitators of Warren's Jet Blacking !"
This easy shining and brilliant BLACKING, prepared by
ROBERT WARREN, 30, Strand, London; and sold in every
town in the Kingdom.
