JOHN YATES, Sec.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually resorted to. This bres eh of the law is acquiesced in
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with,
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and
numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large
number of tke nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St.
James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Itirchin-lane ; at
W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the
principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where
applications for shares may be addressed.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
The high estimate formed by the public during the twelve
years WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S)
chemically purified material has been before it (made into every
useful and ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as

........
it does, the characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called
into existence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate,"
"Berlin Silver," and other se-called substitutes ; they are at best
but bad imitations of the genuine articles manufactured and sold
only by him.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SIL-
VER, introduced and made only by William S. Burton (late
Rippon and Burton's), when plated by the present process
of Messrs. Elkington and Co. is beyond all comparison the very best
article next to sterling silver that can be employed as such either
usefully or ornamentally. In the lengthened and increasing popu-
larity of the material itself, and the high character of the metkod of
plating, the public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S.
Burton (and by him only are, as it regards wear, immeasurably
superior to what can be snpplted at any otber house, while by no
possible test can they be distinguished from real silver.
