of Liverpool and its Vicinity, that he has resolved on
making an EXTENSIVE ENLARGEMENT of his present

MANTLE SALOON, whereby this department of his trade
will be kept more exclusive, and forming, when completed, the
most extensive and fashionable, as well as the Cheapest Esta-
blishment in the Kingdom. With this view he has commenced
SELLING OFF the whole of his present superb STOCK, at an
immense reduction in price ; because, from the nature of the
alterations, his Business may be impeded, if not altogether put
a stop to, while they are proceeding, and it is his desire to have
the Stock cleared out, and the NEW PREMISES OPENED, pre-
vious to the arrival of Prince Albert in Liverpool, as it is anti-
cipated that a greater influx of visitors will then take place
from all parts of the country than has ever been known in Li-
