ABINET UPHOLSTERY, and BEDDING,
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
cheapness, quality, and durability, as not any house in London can
Manufacture at these prices. The Society wishes it to be thorougly
understood, that thor do not receive hawked or other goods for sale,
like the bauars 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
Isolicited of those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which
the merits and decided advantages of purchasing at this establish-
ment can be fairly estimated. This Society being founded for the
suppQrt of industrious mechanics, the funds of which provide for
its members in old age and burial, they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
For ready mony only and no abatement.
