JONATHAN BECKETT, in sincerely thanking his
Friends and the Public for past favours, begs to inform
them that he has ceased to have any connexion with the late
Firm of ".BacKarr & LEATRA.M," Whitechapel; and to
acquaint them that he has entered into Co-partnership with
Mr. JAMES CLEMENTS, of Richmond-row, and can
with confidence assure them that the new Firm offers a
Stock which for variety, extent, and economy in prices, se-
lected, as it has been, for Cash, of the best manufacturers in
the kingdom,—cannot be surpassed by any House in the
Trade. J. B.'s personal attention will be exclusively and
unremittingly devoted to the business, and it will be his
greatest pride to execute all orders with which he may be
favoured—to meet the wishes and study the taste of his
Friends.
