ANNU AL ADDRESS.
. The Publicti by this time, must be aware of the fact that E.
MOSES and SON, at the conclusion of each year, make a practice
of reviewing 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 be every reason, on the present occasion, to issne.a "spe-
cial circular" as an acknowledgment for those obligationslwhich have
been so apparent in the year 1849.
A glance at the past twelve months is sufficient to convince the
proprietors that their Establishment is daily rising in the estimation
°IA discerning public.

To no period eau E. MOSES and SOX refer in which every en-
Couragement has not been afforded to them.
Each of the four successive seasons of the year has had its amount
of public favour, and no declension or fluctuation has at any tinge
been apparent. Ardoug the records of the past year must be named
the establishment of Two Branch Houses (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 opporunitles
presented themselves, the proprietors availed themselves of the
same; and studied, thereby, their ewn interests mutual), with
those of their supporters. The inconvenience of distance was at
once removed, 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.

The Bradford Branch house has now been in operation for nearly
twelve months; and so successful has it proved throughout 'this
'period, that E. MOSES and SON find it ditlicult to express their
feelings Of satisfaction and gratitude under the encouraging circum-
s slices. It was considered by many persons who were witne,ses
of the opening and subsequent scenes at this House, that the suc-
cess attendant on the speculation was without precedent in the
annals of trade.

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 produced all this, would c-rtainly he a conclus'on not at all
warranted by reason. The purchases made on the opening days at
these ill such 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 Cemand 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 have 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 tantamount
to a forfeiture of all future favours. But E. MOSES and SON arc
resolved to convince the public, both by word and action, that their
numerous favours are gratefully received.
The Proprietors hold out no false hopes to 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
them. The Proprietors might particularise those arrangements for
the coming seasons which are already In progress.
They have in preparation a stock of Spring and Summer Dress,
which, for cheapness, utility, and elegance, 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 in 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
from those party international broils abroad, and those political dia.
sensions at horns, which cannot tail 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.
