GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON
TAVERN,
Oa Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR in the
Chair,
For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy.
A Gentleman present, not being able to make a speech, has sent
us his notes, from which we make a few extracts.

I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it is evi.
dent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cure, your hearts have
suffered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched-
ness and misery have produced, and your ear has not refrained from
the tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it
would afford you to see all your f ellow men, and especially our
mechanics and industrious artizans, who it has just been said " Often
become the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having
paid high prices for those things which they daily require, and more
particularly for their DRESS, which has been an immense subject
of consumption in all families, and was, prior to the enterprise of E.
MOSES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac-
cessible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see
these, with all the inhabitants of London and its surrounding coun-
try, providing themselves with a fund in the day when they can
labour, a fund on which they may depend in time of need, thus cul-
tivating a spirit of independence and saving you the great sum you
have to contribute to the various institutions from which destitution
seeks for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement,
and the way by which you may best do so, is to save forty per cent.
by purchasing all your Dress and that of your dependants at
the Economical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will
enable you further to extend your liberality in your excellent plans.
Economy and frugality are the best preventatives of destitution
and mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The
most certain way to prevent destitution in the City and elsewhere
is for the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to
all classes, purchasing every article of Dress at E. MOSES and
SON'S, Aldgate and Minories, or New Oxford-street and Hart-
street. Such a course would certainly prevent a great amount or
destitution, leaving the people a large amount of money purely the
result of superior quality and low prices. The prices being more
than 40 per cent. lower than any other house, constituting an entire
saving of cash to meet accident, scarcity, and old age. The amount
saved in forty per cent, makes a large sum in family expenditure—
is a fortune before age adv antes, and has already prevented a great
amount of distress in the City and in other places. I, therefore, urge
on any Gentleman here who has not already given E. MOSES and
SON the whole of his patronage to do so forthwith, not only from
the fact of their being Tailors, Hatters, Hosiers, &c., &c., to the No-
bility, but the sustainers of our City's Taste, Credit, and Fashion,
and the economisers of the money of our distinguished and wealthy
citizens, and endeavour to extend the benefits of such a reduction
to all classes under your influence and engaged in your service, by
directing them to go to E. MOSES and SON for every article of
dress, which will secure them from the sorrows of destitution and
the humiliation of mendicancy.
