IT AND J. FIGGINS, TYPE-FOUNDERS, beg leave
V • most respectfully to draw the attention of the Pro-
prietors of Newspapers, and Printers in general, to the
appearance of the STANDARD, the new Types upon which it,
is this day printed having been cast at their Foundry.
V. and J. F. flatter themselves that, in beauty and unifor-
mity, they have never been surpassed, and beg to assure the
trade that the principle upon which these Founts are cut, and
J.
pt
the Metal with which they are cast, will • ure Durability.
Upon this important point, V. and .1. re anxious that the
wear of these Types may be consider a test of the general
character of their manufacture, and hope, in course of time,
to be favoured with the confidence of the Liverpool trade in
a degree equal to that which they have enjoyed in London for
nearly fifty years, during which period they have had the ho-
nour of supplying a great portion of the Metropolitan Daily
and Weekly journals, the Proprietors of which can bear
testimony to the superiority of the Type, in that most essen-
tial quality, DURABILITY. In conclusion, V. and J. F. beg
leave most earnestly, but respectfully, to solicit the patronage
of the Proprietors of the Liverpool Papers.
N.B.—Founts, of any weight, ready for delivery at a few
day's notice.
