Royal Family, Nobility, Ladies, and Gentlemen,
.L are respectfully informed, that PRINCE', celebrated RUSSIA
WI, is proved the only article that will prevent the HAIR falling
tf cr turning grey, and if begun to change, by using it often, will, in
a short time, restore it to its natural colour, and Is the best article for
!Tessin, preserving, promoting, curling, and making the Hair look
'wan tiful, at ss. per Bottle, or aßottle containing five small, 20s.
CAUTION.—There arc several Hair-dressers who sell counterfeit
Russia Oil, which is trash, and to deceive have the vlllany to put the
Proprietor's name, Prince, on the cover and bottle ; therefore the
Proprietor begs Ladies and' Gentlemen to be particular, when pur-
:Srsing the Russia Oil themselves, or sending their servant for it, to
'lave it of the Proprietor, Mr. Prince, 9, Poland-street, Oxford-street,
n, of the principal Perfumers and Medicine Venders.
Merchants and Captains, who have orders for Russia Oil, will be
?articular and guard against impostors who go about with base coun-
:erfeits and say it is the Genuine. Several Merchants and Captains.
who have been deceived, and have sent it to the East and West In-
dies, have been blamed for sending Counterfeit, and have had it re-
turned, as abroad they are very particular to have a Genuine article.
The Public in general ought to be acquainted that there is a man of
:he name of Asher, who was a servant some time ago to Mr. Prince,
who employed him to do the labouring part (as the principal ingredi-
,:nt is kept a secret by the Proprietor, who always mixed it himself.)
This same man has the audacity to make a trash which he calls Russia
Oil, and the insolence to copy the bill and wrapper, and to put his
former master's name on the cover and seal. The Proprietor is sorry
to say, there are several Hair-dressers and others, although knowing
:t is not the genuine, have the meanness to buy this trash, as they get
it for a mere trifle, and impose on the Public by telling them it is the
Genuine. This same fellow, some time ago, travelled, and tried to
.mpose his Counterfeits on Coeniry Hair-dressers and Shopkeepers ;1
hut in Brighton, if they bad caught him, he would have bad a good
lucking, as he took in several who thought it was the Genuine, as the
wr.pper was made exactly like Mr. Prince's. He bad even the vil-
tatty ta call on Mr. John Good, Hair-dresser, Brighten, and said he
was a traveller from Mr. Prince, and was now returning to London,
with ',cane Russia Oil on hand ; instead of which, if Mr. Good pur-
:hi,-1 it, he would allow him los. per cent. extra discount, on which
Good bought it. Some of his cutomers having bought some
rt brought it back, and said they did not think it Ge-
7t:ine, on which Mr. Good, suspecting something wrong, wrote
tt, Mr. Prince. the proprietor, London ; on the receipt of which, Mr.
Prince went immediately to Brighton; and Mr. Good and others, who
had been deceived in a similar manner, went to John Bates, Esq. the
magistrate of Ihighton, and asked his advice. When the magistrate
heard the case. he said he could have three months in the tread-mill,
—as it was a fraud—for taking money under fate pretences, and g,sn ted
a warrant for Ws apprehension; but the rogue tretting scent of it, ran
away trom Brighton to London ; and the magistrate signing the war.
rant recommended it to J. E. Conant, Esq. the magistrate of lllarlbo-
r^ogh-titreet, London, who sent officers to apprehend him, yet the rogue
managed to keep himself from being taken ; but as the warrant is
st;11 open against him, if he does not leave of his roguery he can still
ate eunished. To convince Hair-dressers and others it is a fact, the
warrant may be seen at Mr. Prince's. Also Hair-dressers, or any one
else selling counterfeit Russia oil, under any pretence whatever, with
the name Prince on the seal and wrapper, are liable to be punished,
a ill a dance on the treadmill for the fraud. The proprietor also ac-
iluaints gentlemen who are in the habit of going to the hotels in Covent
tiarden, and its vicinity, that there is a hair-dresser under the piazza
who selis counterfeit, and has taken in several purchasers, by telling
them it is Genuine. Several gentlemen who have bought this trashilinve
come to the propretor to know if it was the Genuine, as they found it
dal not answer the purpose, anti learning it was counterfeit they said
they would never again employ him, and would acqu tint the proprie.or
of Cie hotel of his roguery.
No doubt there are some Hair-dressers who think Mr. Prince, tire
Proprietor, is too severe with them ; but if they conscientiously con-
sider the thousands Mr. Prince has spent in advertising it, they must
actually consider it next to robbery to endeavour to dtprive Mr.
Prince ol the sale of it by selling Counterfeit; and besides, Mr. P. al-
lows a very liberal discount for selling again.
To satisfy the Public in general that Mr. Prince's Russia Oil is
the original and only Genuine, the fol'owing Gentlemen, who are
the litrit Perfumers and Medicine Venders in the Kingdoni,
sold it above twenty years :—Smyth and Nephew, 117, New Bond-
street; Hendrie and Son, Titchborne street; Bayley and Blew, Cock-
spur-street ; Sanger, 150, Oxford-street; Newbury and Son, St Paul's;
Dicey and Sutton. Bow Church-yard; Barclay and Son. Farringdon.
street ; Butler and Son. Cheapside ; Shaw and Edwards, St. Nur, ;
Prout, ZIG, Strand ; Rigge and Son, 65, Cheapside; Johnston, 61,
Cornhill ; Bolton and i.utt, Royal change; and of all other prin-
cipal Perfumers and Medicine Venders in the Kingdom. 1
