.• FURTHER GREAT REDUCTIONS IN PRICE.
IT is now six years since THOMAS SMITH opened his celebrated Establishment under the Masic-
hall, in Bold-street. His sole object in visiting Liverpool at that time was, to annihilate the MONSTER PROFITS of those
who daringly dubbed themselves Glass Dealers and Manufacturers, whose Stocks were the veriest Birmingham rubbish,
and whose works did not employ a single man. By charging only a reasonable price, a revolution was soon produced in the
Trade, and the Public got the advantage of a reduction of full 40 per cent. From ill health, and having the care of numerous
other Establishments, T. S. was compelled to retire for a time. But to his infinite surprise, he had not closed his Premises
here more than twelve months ere the old profits and the old prices-Were resumed—indeed the Trade sunk into a state of
monopoly : a fact that has induced him again to visi fverpool. And therefore, begs to inform the Public that
he has taken the SHOP to. 48, LD- S TREEE T,
which is now replete with a Stock unequalled in th iverse. Being a Manufacturer of Cut Glass, a Wholesale Dealer—
having other, Establishments in the Kingdom —t dvertiser has to buy more extensively than any other individual in the
Trade, and can, consequently, sell cheaper those who reduce their prires in hopes of propping up their monopoly.
One thing is important :Observe address, THOMAS SMITH, 48, BOLD-STREET, who will remain in Liverpool to
clear the Stock on hand.

The STOCK comprises rich Cut and Engraved Decanters, Claret and Water Jugs, Water Bottles, Finger Basins, Wine
Coolers, Rummers, Tumblers; Wine, Claret. Champagne, Hock, and Liqueur Glasses; Pickle Jars, Butter Coolers,
Celery Vases, Salts, ',Sugars, Creams. Cruet Sets, &c.; 1,500 Glass Dessert Dishes, various sizes. with Trifle Dishes; to be
sold at a great sacrifice. Also, about 1,000 China Tea and Breakfast Services, richly-gilt Foreign China Ornaments,
Bohemian Glass, of all colours; Papier Mache Tea Trays, Waiters, Tables, &c., of exquisite workmanship; Metal Tea
and-Coffee Pots, Plated Goods, in Cruet and Liqueur Sets; and various other Articles too numerous to mention.
Families wishing to buy large lots will find this an opportunity never again to be met with.
