INANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.
J
u our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
other; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, In the fullest sense of the
I'M. equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may
be
effected the following outline of our aevel, yet well appreelated
bushiess system, will readily show.
POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS
In most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
Workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon
original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain
gures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after-purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have scan seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
"Clothing' of not less, than 40 per cent., as the following brief
rice llat will iOstif'y t 6 '

-31 One half the world are desolately
single, and the other
SePPosing them married, questionably contented. Difndence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Litter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
vosaprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacit),
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone diguifies the alliance. Bligietod hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Pr. CIILVERWELL'S little

refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered

them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, ant
far the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth or,
the above subjects, by unqualifled authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. eacl.,
