"A HAPPY NRW YEAR."
OWEVER we may value past enjoyments, it
must be admitted that present hopes have a greater influence
than 6Ygone recollections. There are some pleasing reminiscences of
the plat year which will sweeten the events of the present. The
Old Year, loaded with the precious fruit, of the earth, like a provi-
dent and industrious predecessor, has left we the legacy of good food,
which we hope, notwithstanding adverse circumstances, to have at a
cheap rate.

Re'viewing the past year, we have the highest gratification in re-
cording our succe.s, and expressing our thanks for the vast amount
of patronage and support which our business in all its departments
has received. We think it no presumption to say we have laboured
to merit the distinction we have gained. Business—practical, ener-
getic, constant, punctual, and unwavering—has been our daily ob-
ject. We have visited every market ; we have employed the skill
and experienre with which many years of boundless trade have
gifted as ; we have encouraged talent, and patronised industry, and
have made WI our resources available to friends, patrons, and the
public, in presenting them with superior and fashionable Dress, at
very reasonable charges. We have received our reward in the innu-
merable instances of satisfaction expressed toward our brsiness and
our manufactures—in the vast increass. of our Trade in London, the
United Kingdom, the Colonies, and throughout the World.
The Ready-made Clothing Department tuts been publicly acknow-
ledged tlxn boon or set., y, 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 conspicuous response ; and we owe to •ur friends, patrons, aid
the public, a grateful acknowledgment of success which has not been
equalled on any former season. We have received the attention of
all 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
been as exten.dvely 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 hats, nor distorted
their apprehensions with exerbita•it 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 adds Hosiery section to our Oxford-street 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 for supe-
riority, variety, elegance, or cheapness.
Our Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and shoe Business, for
which the most extensive premises arc kept at our City Establish •
ment, has had 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 mast gratefully ackno.wledge the distinguished patronage which
has been conferred on our Branch Establishments at Sheffield and
Bradford, Yorkshire, where we pursue the same plans of business,
charge the Caine reasonable prices, and furni,h 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 ft large and flourishing 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.
lions and SoN.
However, as it is E. Mons and Sores custom annually to recapi-
tulate the progress of their business, and to express their good
wishes towards their patrons and the public, they do so with an ex-
traordinary degree of pleasure at the commencement of the year
.;
1555 ; satisfied that the name of E. Mons and Sort is identified
with good, fashionable, and cheap cloihing that E. Mons and Sox
have the greatest ceiebrity as Merchant
.failors, Hosiers, and Out-
fitters that there is not a branch of business they profess, but in
it indefatigable perseverance enables them to succeed ; and in the
most animated hopes cf securing numberless advantages to all
classes of patrons, and of preserving distinction and celebrity in all
nations, E. Moses and SON most sincerely wish every body in all
parts Of the World

A uArpr NEW nut.
