S C H WER S.E N SIC Y AND Co
Winter comes round with its frost and its cold, and our gay autumn garments begin to wear old ;
This is the time must all mortals confess to make a great change in the style of our dress.
And where shall we go, then, our new suits to find? what tailOr in Liverpool pleases our mind?
Hurrah! cries out reason, Schwersensky and Co., these are the tailors to whom you should go.
Hurrah I echoes fashion. Schwersensky for me, so tasteful the garments at their mart I see;
Economy then raises up her glad voice—yes, at Schwersensky's I always rejoice.
Economy, Reason, and Fashion, all fix their zeal on Schwersensky's, 4 and 6, WHITECH &FEL.
