ANNUAL ADDRESS.
The Public, by this; time, must be aware of the fact that E.
MOS and SON, at the conclusion of each year, make a practice
of_revjewing the. ,progress which they may have made, and of ac-
knowledging the same in a plain business address to their supporters.

If such, however, were not the general practice of the proprietors,
there would he every reason, on the present occasion, to issue a "spe-
cial circular" as an acknowledgment for those obligations which have
been so apparent in the year 1849.
A glance at the must.twelve months is sufficient to convince the
proprietors that their Establishment Is daily rising in the estimation
of discerning public.
To no period can E. MOSES and SOX refer in which every en-
couragement has not been afforded to them.
Each of the four s Iccessire seasons of the year has had its amount
of public favour, and no declension or fluctuation has at any time
been apparent. Among the records of the past year must be named
the establishment of Two Branch Houser (the one in Sheffield, and
the other in Bradford), and the partial completion of a Metropolitan
Branch House at the West End.
It is scarcely necessary to allude to the circumstances which led
to these steps being taken. The name of the proprietors being every-
where known and approved, a most extensive country connexion
was the necessary consequence ; and as two favourable opporunittes
presented themselves. the proprietors availed themselves of the
same; and studied, thereby, their own interests mutually with
those of their supporters. The inconvenience of distance was at
once rem wed, and the advantages accruing from a purchase of
MOSES and SON'S dress secured to numbers who otherwise could
not, without sending to town, have realised the same.
Tile Bradford Branch House has now been in operation for nearly
twelve months; and se successful has it proved throughout this
period, that E. MOSES and SON find it difficult to express their
feelings of satisfaction and gratitude under the encouraging eircum-
s ances. It was considered by many persons who were witnesses
of the opening and subsequent scenes at this House, that the suc-
cess attendant on the speculation «•as without precedent in the
annals of trade. 1

What has been said concerning the Bradford Branch is, in every
sense; applicable to that at Sheffield, which has been established
nine months. To imagine that anything short of real merit could
have. prodneed.all this, would c rtainly be a cenclus on not at all
warranted by reason. The purchases made on the opening days at
these Brandi Establishments would have soon caused a diminution
of support, had not sound quality and general superiority been
really apparent. So satisfactory, however, were the goods obtained
—so thoroughly were all promises fulfilled, as to quality and cheap-
ness, that all classes in these important localities rallied round the
Proprietors, and heartily backed the speculations with their coun-
tenance and support.
It has already been stated that the Metropolitan Branch, in the
West End, which will be opened in the Spring, Is the result of an
increasing public demand for the goods supplied by the Proprietors.
Such is a correct statement. Nothing but a positive assurance that
such an extension is really required would hive led E. MOSES and
SON to have added thus to their London speculations, which, apart
from that under consideration, had no equal in the world.
Not to acknowledge obligations so essential would be tantsmortnt
to a forfeiture of all future favours. But E. MOSES and SON are
resolved to convince the public, both by word and action, that their
numerous favours are gracefully received.
The Proprietors hold out no false hopes t• the public, when
stating, that the year 1850 will be distinguished for improvements
and advantages on a scale more advantageous than has ever yet been
experienced. It is by this means alone that E. MOSES and SON
hope to secure future support from those who have so liberally aided
thenr. The Proprietors might particularise those arrangements for
the coming seasons which are already in progress.
They have in preparation a stack of Spring and Summer Dress,
which, for cheapness, utility, and ele:ance, was never surpassed.
They would also impress upon the notice.of the public those various
articles which are now on sale for the winter season. They have
no hesitation is asserting that such an assortment is not to be met
with elsewhere in the trade. •

E. -MOSES and SON, in conclusion, would wish all classes of
their supporters in every sense "a happy new year"—a year free
froni_these party international broils abroad, and those political dis •
sessions at honte, which-cannot fail to operate Inimically with our
commercial trading and domestic well-being. The proprietors trust
that those who aid them, together with those who are not numbered
among their supporters, may have to declare, when the clock strikes
twelve on the night of the 31st of December next, that the year
1850 has proved to them a year of uninterrupted peace, prosperity,
and happiness.

Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public
against imposition; but kaving heard that the antradesmanlike
falsehood of being connected with them, or " It is the same concern,"
has %men relorted 0 in many instances, turd 0r obvious reasons,
hey beg to state that they have no connexion with any other hones
in or oat of London, except their Branch Establishments, 36, Far-
gate, Sheffield; and 19, Thornton's-buildings, Bradford, Yorkshire;

Ivisti. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
' rupiolieg them married, queetionably contented. Diffidence, or a
tense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
eater the latter. The solitary ono may shield himself ceder the plea
of caution and wor:dly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eomprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry ehottld not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour end justice demand tisat health should form au item
Ir. the compact; it alone dignifies the affiance. Blighted hopes er

feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered

for the closet perusal of those more deeely interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by nnenalified authors, which alone er
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other

Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
parnplleta, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor aro they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
