MESSRS. N ICOLL'S WAREROOMS,
through the purchase of adjoining premises, now extend
over a space hitherto occupied by four large Establishments, viz.,
114, 116, 118, and 120, REGENT-STREET, thus forming, with
their several suites of Show-rooms on the First Floor, not only the
largest, but also the most elegant, Magazine for Gentlemen's Cloth-
ing to be met with in Europe.
The Entrance to the Wholesale and SHIPPING DEPART-
• MENTS, for the Sale of Woollen Cloths, &c., will, for the future, he
In Warwick-street, No. 41 (immediately at the rear of the Retail
Warerooms in Regent-street), where the counting-house is also
placed, and to which address all applications for agencies. &c., are
referred, as also those who may de-ire interviews with the Princi-
pals, or Heads of Departments; but Manufacturers, or others, haying
novelties to submit to the above firm, are requested to make an ap-
pointment in writing.
Thole who are desirous of becoming Messrs. NI -2OLL'S Agents
for the sale of their Patented and other Goods, in such towns of the
United Kingdom or Colonies where Messrs. N. are at present un-
represented, are informed that the Goods in question may be sold
by them at the same prices as they are retailed in Regent-street; at
the same t•me affording to the Agent a better profit than if attempts
be made to copy, or otherwise pirate, the several articles.
Merchants, Shippers, and others, will find the class of goods sold
by Messrs NICOLL peculiarly well adapted, through their excellence
of quality and finish, for the wants of the now numerous respectable
residents in the Colonies as the goods are such as are required by the
wealthy and middle classes of the Mother Country, Indeed, a cater
or more profitable venture cannot be made by Shippers, seeing that
the Market has been hitherto almost exclusively supplied with gar-
ments calculated, in material and appearance, for the use of labourers,
&c.. only.
