" A HAPPY NEW YEAR."

HOWEVER we may value past enjoyments, it
must be admitted that present hopes have a greater influence
than bygone recollections. There are some pleasing reminiscences of
the p ,st year which will sweeten the events of the present. Tho
El Year, loaded with the precious fruit, of the earth, like a provi-
dent and iidustrions predecessor, has left us the legacy of good food,
which we hope, notwithstanding adverse circumstances, to have at a
cheap rate.

Reviewing the past year, we have the highest gratification in re-
cording our srcce•s, awl expressing our thanks for the vast amount
of patronage and support which our business in all its departments
bas received. We think it no presumption to say we have laboured
to merit the distinction we have gained. Business—practical, ener-
getic, constant, punotual, and unwavering—has been our daily oh-
j,ct. We have visited every market ; we have employed the skill
and experlenoe with which many years of boundless trade have
gifted us ; we have encouraged talent, and patronised Industry, and
have made al our resources available to friends, patrons, and the
public, in presenting them with superior and fashtmahle Dress, at
very vasemble charges. We have received our reward in the innu-
merable instances of satisfaction expressed toward oar business and
our manufactures—in the vast increas 3 of our Trade in London, the
United Kiturclom, the Colonies, and throughout the World.
The Ready-made Clothing Department has been publicly acknow-
ledged the boon of society, and an advantage to individuals and
families. Our ambition to furnish the best, most fashionable, and
comfortable Clothing, at the lowest possible prices, has met with a
most conspicmms response ; and we owe to our friends, patrons, and
the public, a grateful acknowledgment of success which has not been
equalled on eny former season. We have received the attention of
pill classes and of all professions—our productions have been declared
the most popular, the most gentlemanly, the most comfortable, and
the cheapest. Our system of business, now universally known, has
Lean as exten ively praised; and through the past Year, the cordial
congratulations we have received have been a source of satisfaction,
which we esteem the most brilliant triumph of Trade.
As Hatters, we have supplied elegant articles for the intellectual
developments of our fellow-subjects, and have neither contracted
their benevolent propensities by comfortless kats, nor distorted
their apprehensions with exorbitant prices ; but the best productions
of London and Paris have been transferred from our Establishments
to their proper places—the Heads of families and all the young hope-
fuls of a future generation.

In the Hosiery Department such encouragement has been expe-
rienced as has exceeded the most sanguine expectation, and at the
repeated solicitation of a vast number of patrons we have been in-
duced to add a Hosiery section to our Oxford-stre, t Branch Establish-
ment. Being the largest Manufacturers of Shirts and Underclothing,
and having commercial transactions with every Nation and King-
dom in the World, we have the pleasure of offering such articles in
Hosiery for Ladies and Gentlemen as are not equalled fur supe-
riority, variety, elegance, or cheapness.
Our Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Business, for
which the most extensive premises are kept at our City Establish •
ment, has bad the most liberal encouragement from Merchants,
Shippers, Captains, and others ; and we have the greatest satisfac-
tion in the uniform testimony which has been awarded to our pro-
ductions from the celebrity they have gained in all parts of the
world, and the conviction that they have proved the most pro-
fitable investments which were ever made for the export or home
trade.

We most gratefully acknowledge the distinguished patronage which
has been conferred on our Branch Establishments at .Slieflield and
Itradferd, Yorkshire, where wo cursue the same plans of business,
charge the same reasonable prices, and furnish goods of the same
fashionable and excellent order. Though every colony of the British
Empire has in it our patrons, Australia, that home of English in-
dustry, has a large and flour;shing Wholesale Branch of our well-
known business ; and we are persuaded that in every place that
business will always be worthy of the name and celebrity of E.
Moses and SON._.

However, as it is E. MOSES and SON'S custom annually to recapi-
tulate the progress of their business, and to express their good
wishes lowa' ds their ratrons and the public, they do so with an ex-
traordinary degree of pleasure at the commencement of the year
1E55; satisfied that the name of E. MOSES and Sox is identified
with good, fashionable, and cheap clothing; that E. MOSES and Sox
have the greatest celebrity as Merchant Tailors, Hosiers, and Out-
fitters; that there is not a Lrarich of business they profess, but in
it indefatigable perseverance enatles them to succeed ; and in the
most animated hopes of securing numberless advantages to all
classes of patrons, and of preserving distinctly and celebrity in all
nations, E. MOSES and SON most sincerely wish every body in all
parts of the world
A IiAPPY NEW IEAB
