JOSEPH COOPER AND SON'S

LOOKING-GLASS moo FURNITURE WAREHOUSE,
NO. 93, AISHOPSGATIC-STREET WITHIN.
A' general traders in our particular line, we have,
for half a century, given special satisfaction to a highly
rerectable and Indulgent connection, to whom we take this
piblic opportunity of returning our grateful acknowledgments
for all past favours, and of expressing our zealous and determined
irtention to merit a continuation of their future patronage.
With the change of the times and circumstances, however,
which have served to give a new feature to the speculations of
trade, we must necessarily vary our arrangements in business;
Weed, It has become the more imperative on men of capital and
influence in their respective circles to consult the public neces-
sities, because the limits to which the commercial horizon has
fir many years extended appear gradually to contract; and the
)lanufscturer and Artisan are now suffering under the conse-
client pressure arising from the want of export and employment.
this state of things has given rise to a class of Speculan.rs, who
have endeavoured to benefit themselves by offering goods of
vf.r) inferior manufacture, which, although apparently cheap,
yield the greater prohts ; they are shewy and decorated, but ma.
nufactured without regard to durability, and consequently prove
in the result a serious disappointment to the purchaser.
Tere has also existed an opposite extreme: another class of
tr.desmen have made such exorbitant demands for their articles,
as to create surprise in the minds of purchasers how the great
disparity it, the charges of different houses can be satisfactorily
explained. We shaU leave this question as it rests, and enter
upon our more immediate subject.
To be just in our dealings us Tradesmen, we must have a pro-
fit, but we shall be satisfied with a moderate one; and therefore
step between the working mechanic and his cheerless prospects
--give him fair wages suitable to the times as they really are—
employ our capital in the purchase of first-raze matesiairmae4
offer the character and credit of an old-established Mercantile
Muse, to the more immediate p.vtronage of the Nobility, Gen-
try, and Peblic cr the United Kingdom.
