THE CITY AND THE WEST.

rrITE City and the West-end are constantly con-
-1 tending for the palm ofsuperlority in matters oftashion. Each
asserts its claim to public preference, and thus Is a jea'ous emulation
maintained between these two great rivals. It is not the practice
of L. liYAbi to make insidious allusions, either to individuals or
localities; but, nevertheless, the proprietor is bold in asserting, that
" the City" is not the only " nucleus" of commercial enterprise
and wealth, but the centre cf a system of fashion, around which
subordinate satellites revolve.

n spite of the endeavours to establish a species of aristocracy in

the West-end tailoring trade, it is an irrefiagible fact, that "the
City" is distinguished in this branch of business and art beyond any
and eViry other locality.
L lIYAM, situated, as he is, in the very heart of the British capi-
tal, vindicates the high character of his tailoring and clothing esta-
blishment, by a display of gentlemen's and youths' attire, compared
with which all other samples must partially sink in public esti-
mation.
Let the public see and judge for themselves. Let them examine
imparilally the novelty, excellence, and durability of the new spring
articles cf dress, in meerial and general manufacture. La them
tsii
.:alculate the immense saving effected by the great econo y of L.
HYAM'A charges, and they will be convinced of the fact, at the
superior claim to public support is undoubtedly possessed " the
City," so far, at least, as the offers of L. lIYAM are concerned.
OBSERVE !—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion
with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street,
City (cetablishished upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi-
ness carried on by L. HYAM, where the public can be supplied with
good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at
such economical prices as must defy all competition.
