NEW SYSTEM OF BUSINESS

THE LIVERPOOL CLOTH HALL.
J. RICHMOND'S

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL NEW WOOLLEN
WAREHOUSE, No. 3. PARADISE-STREET,
.......TWO DOORS FROM CHURCH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

TT is now Six Months since this Establishment was
opened for the saie of every article connected with the
WOOLLEN TRADE, the business being conducted on
a principle hitherto unknown in Liverpool, namely, that
of selling for Cash only, at a small per centage on the
manufacturer's prices. One price asked, and no abate-
ment made. That this excellent system has been decid-
edly approved of by the public, is shewn by the extent of
patronage they have already conferred on the LIVER-
POOL CLOTH HALL, being such as to render it emi-
nently successful.
J. R. has the pleasure to announce his return from the
London, Scotch, and Yorkshire markets, having perso-
nally selected and purchased for Cash, the choicest and
best, if not the most extensive, assortment of Woollens
ever offered in any Establishment, the whole of which is
now ready for the inspection of the Trade and Public,
who are respecfully invited to examine the qualities and
compare the prices with those charged by other houses.
The want of an Establishment in Liverpool where the
Trade could get supplied with all descriptions of FANCY
TRIMMINGS, has long been felt. J. R. having paid
especial attention to this department, begs to assure them
that this difficulty exists no longer ; by visiting the Liver-
pool Cloth Hall they will find every article that can be
procured.
The Materials for Winter Wear are so numerous as to
render it impossible to particularise them in an advertise-
ment ; but J. R. cannot refrain from calling attention to
a new and splendid article for Overcoats, called the Cana-
dian Mohair Beaver, which, being perfectly Waterproof,
will be found superior to any other Texture ever invented.
N.B.—A WHOLESALE WAREHOUSE FOR.
SHIPPERS AND OTHER LARGE BUYERS.
