STREET.
Successful results have our efforts obtained,
And a host of new patrons already we've gained,
As such is the case, we acknowledge to all
Our gratitude deep for their kind-hearted call.
The Show-room of Hyam combines great attraction,
Where talent, first rate, is developed in action ;
The produce of England and France is displayed,
And adds to the lustre of ilyam's great trade.
Ills Fashions for Spring are the theme of delight,
Whilst splendour and cheapness together unite ;
And praises are lavished by thousands who flock
To see Hyam's wonders and gaze on his stock.
So levers of fashion we humbly solicit
The favnnr, the kindness, the aid of a visit.
As with confidence great we are led to
lu snppose
future you'll patronise Hyasa for Clothes.
