The Spirit Trade attached to this Establishment has long been
conducted on principles most beneficial and satisfactory to the pub-
lic, and the proprietor has been rewarded by a share of business,
in that department, second to none in the Metropolis. Anxious to
afford the same advantages to his friends, and the public generally,
in the purchase of Wines as in Spirits, he has long awaited the
opportunity of being enabled to place his Establishment, as a Wine
Depot, upon the same proud footing as the other branches of his
trade, and which the recent improvements in his immediate neigh-
bourhood have afforded him the means of carrying into effect, upon a
scale unequalled in the Wine and Spirit Trade ; the result of which
he begs to lay before a discerning public ; and in doing which, dis-
claims any intention to question the various pretensions put forth
by the " thousand and one" wine-merchants of London, who lay
claim to the public patronage, and is also fully aware of the strong
feelings of prejudice entertained by many sensible persons to all
advantages offered them in an advertisement, however self-evident
they may be ; who cannot be made to believe that any pains-taking
tradesman, of years' standing, by firmly relying at all times on the
smallest profits, has been enabled to invest, in a Stock of some of
the rarest Wines in Europe, or in existence, upwards of 30,0001. ;
who cannot credit that by such means they can have their most
favourite Wine, of whatever description, in its utmost excellence, at
to them a surprisingly moderate price. And why ? Because, for-
sooth, the fact is advertised.
To remove such mischievous prejudices, and to meet the daily in-
creasing demand for his Wines, J. H. Watchorn has, in addition to
his other cellars, opened his new Wine Department and spacious
Vault, which from its extent has been (not inaptly) compared to
that noble achievement of genius the Thames Tunnel, in which may
be seen at once glance 200 pipes down in bottle of the most
recherché classes of the Wines of the Rhine, France, Spain,
and Portugal, possessing every variety of age, quality, and flavour
in their assortment, to view which he especially invites private fa-
milies and the public generally. To the connoisseur in particular
he cannot resist naming a butt of Sherry, in pints, for which, from
its singular excellence, he gave 300 guineas, shipped expressly for
his establishment. Also a pipe of East India Madeira, 30 years in
that country, which its high flavour will fully confirm.
And while quality has been predominant in J. H. W.la mind in
providing a stock of the rich and rare worthy his cellars and his re-
putation, he has not neglected Wine of an economical character.
And as the basis of his large Spirit Trade was formed on small pro-
fits and large returns, so in his new Wine Department will he adopt
his favourite maxim, by offering Wines of the very highest charac-
ter at comparatively low prices, thus making his own interest fall in
with that of the consumer, and securing to himself an extensive and
lasting connexion. Upon these solid grounds he confidently sub-
mits his claims for general support.
