share of the quinquennial profits, which may be applied either by

ABINET UPHOLSTERY, and BEDDING,
4L.) at the CABINET-MAKERS' SOCIETY, 71, LEADEN-
HALL-STREET, Enrolled agreeably to Act of Parliament ;
being real manufacturers in all its branches. The system upon
which this is conducted precludes the possibility of competition for
heapnefs, quality, and ;arability, as net any house in London can
manufacture at these prices. The Society wishes it to be thoreugly
understood, that they do not receive hawked or other goods for sale,
like the bazaars and haberdashers • but they make every article
themselves, which enable them confidently to warrant their goods
of the very best materials. If any fault appear it will be made
good, free of all charge for twelve months. A trial is earnestly
solicited of those about to furnish, as the only c!iterion by which
the merits and decided advantages of purchasing at this establish-
ment can be fairly estimated. This Society being founded for the
support of industrious mechanits, the funds of which provide for
its members in old age and burial, they thereft.re sincerely hope that.
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
For ready money only and no abatement.
