CATTLE SHOW.
This annual display is one of the sights for which London i 8 cele-
brated. The productions of the country and the wonders of the
world centre in the metropolis. Science, art, manufactures, and
agriculture are represented in the City—there their best samples are
shown and sold.
• The visitors to the Cattle Show never omit their visits to the
establishments of E. Moses and SoN, and their West-end Branch
has an overwhelming share of patronage. E. MOSES and SON have
the greatest pleasure in submitting their establishments and their
manufactures to the inspection of all visitors, and feel themselves
honoured by a careful observation of their and commercial
arrangements, well aware that their business needs only to be un-
derstood to Ye appreciated, and fully convinced that the prize pro-
ductions of all countries are incorporated with their own menu-
Lista, r 3.
It Is as impossible' to particularise the variety of styles, excel-
lences, and points of superiority in their manufacture, as it isbword
to convey an adequate impression of the cheapness of their goods.
It is only necessary to remark that E. Moses and Sox are tusheoutlirst.
in mew inventions for attire, the most punctual in their
transactions, and the most successful in securing to their patrons and
s
the public the best articles at the most reasonable charges.
E. Moses and Sole have added to their Oxford-street Breach a
Hosiery Department, elaborately furnished with articles of the most
elant manufacture, and of the most useful kind. There the same
conventences and advantages are afforded as are given at their City
Establishmeet, and those uniform plans of business are pursued
which have given such universal satisfaction.
At E. Moses and SON'S City Establishment a Wholesale Depart-
ment of ualimited extent is kept, where every person may make the
safest and most profitable investment either for the home or export
trade.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, halals: learned that the nntradesman-like
falsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
obvious concern," has been resorted to in many
reasons, they beg to state that they have instances, and for
