highly respectable and well-established Lifb Assurance Companies
have successively transferred their business to this establishment.
The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the

It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included

Will assemble in groups in the fields and the Parka.
Tie pleasing, exceedingly pleasing, to see
This public enjoyment, this frolic and glee.
Nor is the glad scene of the holidays lees,
When viewed in connexion with now Summer dress.
Much, much has been done by MOSES and SON,
In adding fresh zest to the Whitsuntide fun.
- Let those who have not yet obtained a new dress,
To MOSES' fam'd warehouse in multitudes press,
And let them not go to a Whitsuntide fair
Till they have made a " fair" purchase of articles rare.

Ind hence, like a " fair" is it thronged in eaeh part,
A " fair" honest bargain with MORES and SON,
Will gain the expense of your holiday fun.

Those choice summer dresses *hieh multitudes buy.
So wishing you plenty of frolic and fun,
As soon as the " Whitsuntide fairs" are begun,
We beg to remain, as we ever have done,
Your dutifhl Servants, E. MOSES and SON.

tions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or for-
