BONNET'S SILKS A LYON--Every Article of
commerce takes its title either from the inventor or
Manufacturer. and the more perfect the production the
grater is the credit which attaches to the originator.

pos Al by the very trade mark of the firm, as exhibited by
Messrs. JAY, of Regent-street.
The following interwoven mark may be seen at the end
ofeach piece :—" Manufacture de C. J. Bonnet et Cie., a Lyon
e a Injurieux." Weer guaranteed.
