[ADVERTISEMENT.] —SPLENDID A.RRA.NGEMENT OF
LookING-GLlss, producing the effect of a long arcade,
and so bewildering as to cause a doubt whether you are
in London or in old Rome.
" Arch follows arch, and pile succeeds to pile."
This unique apartment is devoted to cutting and arrang-
ing the hair in, and with another having a beautiful
view of Naples, are on the ground-floor. In calling at-
tention to their establishment, Ross and
.Sons beg
to notice the advantages of their system—viz., they
never take apprentices nor young men from the
country, nor object to customers asking for the same
man to wait upon them ; every person has clean brushes,
they never being used twice, without being washed ;
and parties are not pressed to boy things they do not
want. Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishoi,s-
sate-street.
