r SHE OPERA.—The pure white, simple elegance,
and perfect lit of the GOLDEN FLAX CRAVAT COLLAR
stamp it as a most gentlemanly article of dress at all times, but for
Full Dress it is Indispensable. It needs no additional cravat ; in one
article is combined both collar and cravat. Articles composed of
cotton possew a dingy or yellow appearance, or speedily assume it ;
linen, on the contrary, from its superior fabric, is capable of receiving
a higher bleach, and of retaining its snowy whiteness to the last.
The Cravat Collar is made exclusively from the Golden Flax Linen,
a fabric which is known to surpass all others In purity of bleach and
beauty of texture. . _

N.ll.—Each Cravat Collar is stamped "JOHN PATTERSON,
London, registered 29th August, 1845," and may be obtained at all
hosiers, outfitters, &e.
