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 they (10 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

solicited of those about to furnish, as the only Criterion by which
the merits and decided advantages of purchasing- at this establish-

support 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.
