IMPORTANT SALE

TEFFERY, MORRISH, and CO., having a few days
5.1 since intimated their Purchase from the Assignees of the
entire Stock of Mr. W. D. Scurfield, late of Bold-street,
A BANKRUPT,

beg now to announce the Day Fixed for Commencing the Sale is
FRIDAY next, the 18th instant.

Unlike any other Stock J., M., and Co. have had the oppor-
tunity of submitting to their Friends, the Departments are less
numerous, but the character and style of the Goodl inuch more
costly and elegant,
.doing credit to thejmte—Which selected
them for that superior description ePtfide to which " Bold-
street " lays claim. . .

The present depressed state of almost every business, whe-
ther foreign or domestic, ieunfortunately too well known ; to
force, therefore, such Dodds as these on the market must ne-
cessarily entail a verfserious sacrifice, as will be seen by the
Prices at which tVWhole of this Stock will be Sold. It con-
sists of

SlLKS.—ThisPortion of the Stock is not large, but of a choice
and superior character, suited for Dinner,
Walking, or Carriage Dress ; and some idea
may be formed of the great reduction from the
following quotations:—
Those Dresses previously offered at
I Guineas are now marked 4 Guineas.

SHAWLS.—This Department comprises One-third of the entire
Stock, and is worthy the special attention of
Gentlemen wishful to make a handsome present
at a comparatively small cost.
A considerable portion, namely, all Wool, both
in Longs and Squares, is suitable to the Season
fast passing. The prices of these, therefore, will
indeed be tempting ; as will also the rich Cash-
mere, French, and China Crape. Those marked
by Mr. Scurfield
15 Guineas will now be sold for 8 ;

and the other portion in similar ratio.
ALL WOOL—Although these Goods may fairly be considered
PLAIDS. a staple Article of the Trade, and therefore not
liable to the fluctuations in value of either the
before-mentioned Departments, nevertheless, as
the Winter is so far advanced, the prices will
be found to little exceed One-half what they can
be sold for when purchased ordinarily.
CLOAKS. These being particularly for Winter wear, all are
of a comfortably warm wrapper description, and,
in order to make a speedy clearance, are marked
just One-half their Value.
MANTLES—Among these will be found some of the most
and Rare and Novel Designs, very much diversified
VISITES. in character, from the Rich Fur-trimmed, lined
with Silk, and handsomely quilted, to the lighter
description more adapted to the coming season,
being fully as great a reduction in price as any
other portion of the Stock.

THE APOLLO SHIRT,

CAUSE. It is generally admitted that amongst the
various articles of clothing, there is nothing
so difficult to procure as a perfect fit in Shirts ;
in fact it is impossible, according to the pre-
sent mode of the shape-and manufacture, that
it should be otherwise; every movement of
the body of the Shirt affects the position and
cleanliness of the breast, even in the mere
process of putting it on, as the body of the
common Shirt is so intim acted with
the breast that the n cracks the starch,
and lays the firs undation of creases and
soiled lines; a '"when on, the action of the
arms and o ary movements of the person,
without cting the correct fit and appear-
ance o he breast, is quite unprovided for,

DISCOVERY

be een the breast and body, and also from
A improper form.

After the close attention and practical obser-
vance of several years to Shirt making, the
subscriber feels confident in the merits of the
discovery he is now offering to the public ; he
has derived the name from the general resem-
blance which the shape of the breast bears to
that classic and symbolic figure of antiquity,
the Lyre of Apollo, the breast being in that
form, is contained within a beautifully
stitched and firm band, cut out of one piece
.

of cloth entirely surrounding it and the collar;
the band resting in fair balance on the neck
and shoulders, acts upon the collar and breast

ADVANTAGE

in the same manner as a frame to a picture,
;S.thus completely preventing the continual ac-
tion of the other parts of the Shirt, affecting
the position of the breast in the slightest man-
ner, whilst the peculiar shape of the breast,
forming an apex at the bottom, marks its pro-
per place, which, upon putting it on, it imme-
diately assumes and maintains; here the un-
necessary surplus length of plaits occasioned
by the square bottom of the common Shirt is
avoided, thus removing, in a great measure,
one of the chief difficulties in fitting a Shirt.
The indentation on the sides of the breast of
the APOLLO SHIRT, allows complete room
for, the play of the arms and braces without
Interfering with the position of the breast, an
object most unaccountably overlooked in all
the Shirts at present in use,—in short, the
most violent exercise may be resorted to,
without hazarding the chance of removing the
breast from the position it ought to maintain,
coupled with this advantage, that the APOLLO
SHIRT, from its inability to crease, will be
perfectly clean, when the common Shirt is
completely soiled from the same amount of
wear.

ECONOMY

In a Shirt_that fits, the economy of wear

must be self-evident ; with tfiWisconibined
the BEST MATERIALS that money and
judgment can select, whilst the prices charged
for the APOLLO SHIRTS bear no relation to
those charged for many qualities of the com-
mon Shirts in use.
