accommodation. Every article there being the same in Style, Quality,
and Price as at their gigantic Emporium, Aldgate and Minoriea, at
either place the public has the accommodation of the largest, most
varied, and appropriate stock of Goods. This is a convenience which
has given the greatest satisfaction, and it is the daily aim of E.
„,,°6ES & SON to unite convenience and profit at each Establish-
trit. On this account every article displays the most artistic Cut,
e highest order of Workmanship, and the most fashionable and
eervlceablo materials. This applies to the novelest styles of

CAPES, WRAPPERS, AND OVERCOATS
ever offered by any house in the world, the Prices being very much
I-.evrer than those charged elsewhere.

E. MOSES & SON'S JUVENILE ATTIRE,
l'eadY made or to measure, surpasses all others in Elegance, Dura-
bl:lty, Comfort, and ('heapness.
