JEFF

Probably it may be well briefly to state the system
adopted at COMPTON-HOUSE, which is this:—First, to
buy everything for prompt Cash, at the cheapest possible
rate; and, secondly, to sell precisely on the same terms,
having but one uniform price, from which, under no
circumstance, is the least aoatement made. The relative
position of the purchaser with cash and the purchaser on
credit admits of no comparison ; and that this fact is
beginning to he practically understood by the public, is
satisfactorily demonstrated by the past progress of COMP.
TON-HOUSE. J., M., and Co. urgently request that at
least all Housekeepers will compare the prices of goods
bought al their Establishment for cash with those pur-
chased elsewhere on credit, when the immense pecuniary
scat ifice consequent on the credit system will at once
become apparent.
A great portion of the additional area now embraced will
be devoted to the extension of many of the present depart-
ments, comprising.SlLKS, FANCY DRESSES, RIB-
BONS, SHAWLS, and SCAUFS, of both French and
English manufacture. Neither Tabdur nor expense has
been spared. Professional buyers .for these departments
have visited the Continental tnd British Markets, and
selected a greater profusion of eYechei:che'Goode than have
ever been submitted to the public taste by any retail
house in the United Kingdom. •
THE BONNET ROOM
(which is attended to by Young Ladies) is the most
spacious and elegant in Europe. The Stock includes
every new design of the present Season in WHOLE
STRAWS, (peculiarly adapted for the garden and sea-
side,) Tuscan, Dunstable, Chip, Rice, Leghorn, with
every description of Fancy Straws.
The FAMILY LINEN, &c. DEPARTMENT com-
prises DAMASK TABLE LINEN, TRAY CLOTHS,
NAPKINS. DOILEY'S, TOWELINGS, SHEET-
INGS. COUNTERPANES, QUILTS, and BLAN-
KETS.

J., M., and Co. respectfully intimate, that this depart-
ment receives more than ordinary attention. The greatest
possible care is observed to prevent the use of inferior
Yarns ; and an equal, if not greater, reliance may be
placed on the durability of this portion of their Stock than
that of the oldest Houses which have been established for
the exclusive sale of Family Linens.
Crests, Coats of Arms, or any other required design
made to order.

CARPETS

One vast room will be entirely appropriated to CAR-
PETS, RUGS, and DRUGGETS, OIL and FLOOR
CLOTHS. Arrangements have been completed which
will Secure a constant succession of new patterns, of the
best manufacture, exclusively designed and made for the
sale of COMPTON-HOUSE. Old patterns at very reduced
prices.

MOREENS, DAMASKS, AND PRINTED
FURNITURES.
In the Church-street portion of the Premises one entire
compartment will be occupied with this important branch
of House Furniture. The Stock in UNION, WOR-
STED, SILK and SATIN DAMASK, TABARETTS,
WATERED MOREENS, and PRINTED FURNI-
TURES will be found unequalled in extent; from which
the peasant may select the cheapest articles to supply his
wants, or the prince the most unique and elegant to gra-
tify his taste.
It now only remains simply to state the reasons that
have led to the amalgamation of the
CABINET FURNITURE
with the customary business of COMPTON-HOUSE.
The vast consumption of the articles above enumerated,
especially of Carpets, Moreens, and the various fabrics
employed in Curtains, Hangings, and draperies of all
sorts, had so frequently been accompanied by a demand
for CABINET FURNITURE, and the immense advan
tages springing from the ability to supply the whole ap-
pointments of Mansions en suite were so manifest, that
JEFFERY, MORRISH, and Co. were induced to turn their
e trneat attention to the subject. The result was, first a
conviction that they could supply the desideratum, con-
fessedly so needed ; and, secondly, a determination that
they would supply it in a manner worthy of the character
Liverpool has so long enjoyed for an appreciation of the
elegant and beautiful in Art, as well as for the substantial
and excellent in Manufacture.

That London unfavourably situated for the receipt of
the raw material at an economic rate, with the very high
price of labour, and possessing no peculiar advantages
over the Provinces, should be almost the sole dee& for
the Manufacture of the higher class of HOUSEHOLD
FURNITURE for the whoie country was an anomaly
that would not bear a moment's investigation ; more es-
pecially when it is bore in mind, that, of all places in the
empire, Liverpool, from its geographical position, for
every purpose of import and _export, and from its being
the natural Capital of the North, cluld advantageously
enter into competition with the Metropolis. Acting on
this assumption, and additionally stimulated by the recent
important reductions in the price of Cabinet Woodsan-
nouneed in the Budeet, JEFFERY, Mortatsn, and Co.,
resolved to meet the London tradesmen on a footing of,
at least, perfect equality, not merely as regards the Mann-
:, but the Design of the various articles connected
with Household Furnishing. To this end they have se-
cured the services of an Artist of the highest ability in
his profess'on, whose immediate business it will be, to as-
sist parties furnishing in realising that harmonious com-
liination of form, colour, and applicability so readily dis-
cernable in the residences of the metropoltan aristocracy,
and so easily attained where a disciplined judgment is
permitted to minister to the wants of affluence, or even
of humble competence. This draughtsman will be like-
wise employed in original designs, or in copying the latest
Continental and London Fashions, in Furniture suitable
to the Boudoir, the Drawing-room, the Library, the Bed-
chamber, or other apartment; and, in adapting such Ar-
ticles to the architectural or other peculiarities of the
places they are intended for.

The Solidity and Finish of the Articles executed to
these. Patterns are guaranteed by the supervision of a
PRACTICAL CABINET-MAKER of long standing and
respeptability ; and the same object is secured in
COUCHES, OTTOMANS, well-seasoned FEATHER
BEDS, HORSE-HAIR MATRESSES, &c., by the
employment of an equally competent PRACTICAL UP-
HOLSTERER.

Thus, in these three important branches of the new
Business added to COMPTON-ROUSE, the Public are en-
sured all the advantages derivable from a systematic clas-
sification under three distinct heads, each presided over
by parties specially qualified for such duties.
In commencing the Supply of CABINET FURNI-
TURE, UPHOLSTERY, and everything appertaining
to them, JEFFERY, MORRIS/I, and Co. again pledge
themselves to an undeviating adherence to those principles
on which COMPTON-HOUSE has from the first been con-
ducted ; and engage that every order with which they
may be entrusted shall be executed with integrity, judg-
ment, and taste.

Mansions can be furnished with unity and precision,
(either in whole or in part,) whetherthey bP in the United
States, British Colonies, or elsewhere, provided J., M.,
and Co. receive correct plans of the size of room. and
style of architecture. An order for Payment on some
respectable firm in England will be necessary.

It is now more than twelve }ears since COMPTOM.
HOUSE was first established in Liverpool, and at no
portion of that period have three successive years elapsed
without considerable additions having been found neces-
sary for conducting the operations of their rapidly-in-
creasing trade. For so valuable a mark of public pre-
ference, J., M., and Co. embrace this medium of
tendering their most grateful acknowledgements, while
they confidently hope that, by a rigid adherence to the
system laid down at the commencement of !heir Estab-
lishment, and carried out with firmness and perseverance
to the present period, to receive a continuance of that
distinguished patronage with which they have been so
long honoured.
