AFFAIRS ON THE ICE.—Rare old Winter!
crusty nusines3 " sliding scales" popular everywhere, the sur-
face of the lakes peopled withnndustrions thousands, and the fishes
snoozing under a coverlet of ice some nine or ten inches thick, but
every individual, lady and gentleman, fully appreciating the excel-
lencies of the WINTER AT FIRE prepared by E. Moen and Sox.
Never was there such a promiscuous gathering on the skating busi-
ness as during the past week, and never such a display of fashionable
and comfortable Dress.
The success of E. MosEs and Sox never appeared so much to ad-
vantage, and loud and numerous were the encomiums passed on
them by the skaters and the dense multitudes which lined the banks
of the waters.
It appears that the business of E. MOSES and Sox must always
triumph, the best Dress being prepared by them for every season,
cold, Wet, damp, frost, or snow, variety far all classes, and comfort.
able attire for everybody at the most economical prices.
Skaters and sportsmen all patronise the productions of E. MOSES
and SON, the style and fit of the Garments made by them being so
Much superior to any others.
Young gentlemen are fully equipped at E. MOSES and Sores, their
Attire, Hats, Caps, Shirts, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., being un-
paralleled for superiority and economy.
For freezing or thawing times and all other times, for ladies and
gentlemen, men of business, mechanics, sailors, and emigrants, the
East and West End Establishment of E. Mons and Sox secure as-
tonishing advantages in Quality and Price.
The Wholesale Department affords the greatest advantages to
Purchasers either for the home trade or the colonies.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with 'heir Establishment," or " It's
the satue concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
