WENHAM LAKE ICE.
• 30A, EXCHANGE-S7'REET EAST, LIVERPOOL.
WE are reluctantly obliged to notice Advertise-
ments appearing in the Liverpool and other News-
papers, signed Rovns and Co. in some, and ROPES, NOYES,
and Co. in others, which, for unblushing falsehood, stands
unrivalled. They assert that they have been "established in
Liverpool 1846," "that they are the only importers of Wenham
Lake Ice into the United Kingdom since 1845," "that Wen-
ham Lake Ice can only be had of them 'or their agents," and
" that they have JUST received a large cargo of that pure and
unequalled Spring Water Ice from the Wenham Lake." Now
all and each of these assertions are utterly false.
We are prepared to prove that neither Mr. Ropes or any one
connected with him was in England until 1847, that they im-
ported no Ice of any sort into this country before the latter part
of the summer of that year, that they never had any interest,
either directly or indirectly, in the Wenham Lake Ice Com-
pany, which was represented in Liverpool solely by our Mr.
0. NEILL until 4th June, 1847, when they discontinued im-
porting Ice here, and that Messrs. Ropes and Co. have now not
one pound of Wenham Lake nor any other American Ice. their
cargo JUST arrived being from Norway, as the following ex-
tract from the Liverpool Customs Bill of Entry will show
10,301 Bill of Entry, April 27th, 1852.
" Conmercien of Oslo Busier B. Neilson, Oster Biisier
(March 41st,) 12 nieu,,23B lons.

"SUTER IWNEILLEDGE and Co.

"400 tons lee for Ropes, Noyes, and Co."
Now from these facts it is self-evident that Messrs. Ropes
and Co.. believing they would have no opposition in the Ice
trade this year, and that any article they would bring here
must be taken by the consumers of Ice, discontinued importing
American Ice of any sort, and have attempted to substitute an
article which they knew to be so impure that they dare not offer
it on its own merits, and this they have done to enhance their
profits.

We beg most positively to state, that the only Wenham Lake
Ice in England is that imported by us ex "Daniel Webster,"
from Boston, in April last, in proof of which we give the
following : _

"Liverpool, May 21st, 1852.
" To whom this may concern.
" We hereby certify that 0. Neill and Co., of this Cowen, have
imported in one of our Boston Packets, the first and only Cargo
of American Ice, of this year's produce, and which was landed
in fine. order. (Signed,)

"TRAIN AND CO."

We now appeal to the consumers of Ice generally, and ask
them, can they consistenly support a party who would, by so
wilful A perversion of the truth, seek to impose an inferior
articrerunder the name of Wenham Lake Ice. We only can
supply, that Ice, and we beg to inform our Friends and the
Public that we have made arrangemenls to have a continuous
supply of that superior article—a second Cargo being now in
coursq of shipment. Respectfully thanking our Friends for
the support hitherto received, and soliciting their future
favours, we are, very respectfully, your obedient servants,
0. NEILL AND CO.
