IMPOSTURE UN3IASKED.
THE Progress of Merit, although frequently assailed,
is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression
of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude old.
tritely triumphs in the attainment of the grand object—public
sryroMtion. The test of experience is the guarantec of favour,
owl hes establiithell WARREN'S BLACKING in general esti-
mation ; of which there exists not a stronger proof, than the tacit
acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously
obtrude en the unwary a spurious pre ration as the genuine ay.-
We, to the great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser, and
rixrifest injury of Warren, whose character and interest, by this
iniquitous system, are equally subject to aetriment. It becomes,
therefore, an indispensable duty, to caution the public against the
mace:arm of unprincipled venders, who having no character to
lee, and stintulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim to
acquisition of money through any medium but that of honour.
Ihe original and matchless Blacking bears on each bottle a sham
oltavtion, aith the signature " ROBERT WARREN;' alll
others counterfeits; and in many instances the imposition label
ate artfully interlined with a different address, in very small cha-
r:or., between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and
MANI)." It is earnestly recommended to shopkeepers and
uteri, wl.n are deceived by base fabrications of Warren's Black.
41/, to return the detected trash to the source from whence it cams
txl !time the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy.
‘larrin's Blacking is surpassingly brilliant; it excludes damp,
Mitres to the leather, retains its pristine virtue in all di-
fel, and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally
!ndNperwahle fashion and utility.
