SECOND VISIT TO LIVERPOOL.

Distinctly Patronized by the Society of /Arts and the
Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

A
TO THE NOBILITY, CLERGY AND GENTRY.
MY LADIES, LORDS AND GENTLENIEN,
T TAKE the liberty to solicit your Favours in the event
1 of your being annoyed by imperfect Doors and Win-
dows. My Slides afford a decided advantage in Summer
and Winter. 1 have had an unusual share of experience,
having devoted the last 13 years to Remedying (at less
than one-third the usual charges) all defects in Doors and
Windows; and I fearlessly assert, all Doors and Win-
dows are, in a degree, imperfect. Should you think proper
to honour me by inspecting my Models, please address a
line at Mr. Jones's, Ironmonger, 58, Dale-street, nearly
opposite the Grecian Hotel, Liverpool, and I will call
without expense to you. Should you require the Regula-
tion of a single Door or Window, I will pay the most
marked attention.
I have the honour to be, with all due deference,
Your most obedient Servant,

T. BAKER.

Mr. BAKER'S Improved Self-Acting Air-Tight DOOR
and WINDOW-SLIDES which preclude the possibility
of Wind, Rain, Dust, or a Draught of Cold Air rushing
into a room from Windows or Doors, however old or ir-
regular previous to Mr. B's application.
Door Slides fixed in Wainscot..
Mahogany Ditto .. • • 6s. 6d.
Windows (howeverlimperfect) regulated, so that in sum-
mer they are impervious from Dust, and in winter per-
fectly free from Draught, Is. 6d. each (materials and work-
manship included.) Windows thus improved preclude
the useless application of sand -bags, never make a rattling
noise in boisterous weather, will open instantaneously for
the requisite admission of pure air, and warranted to last
seven years.

Mr:Baker begs leave to suggest, that those Gentlemen
having imperfect Windows and Doors, will find a decided
advantage by having them secured from the inclemency of
the March winds, as nothing tends to increase Colds and
Asthmas so much as cold draughts emanating from win-
dows and doors.—Read ABERNETHY'S observations
on Imperfect Draughts.
Country Gentlemen attended within four miles of Li-
verpool, without extra Charge.—All Orders addressed 58,
Dale-street, nearly opposite the Grecian Hotel, I iverpool.
will be promptly attended to.

W. BENNETT, /
IRONFOUNDER, SIR THOMAS'S/BUILDINGS,
SOLE AGENT AND MANUFACTURER

FOR LIVERPOOL AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.
THE object of this Invention is qcreate a draft where
otherwise it would not exist, by the spontaneous
action of the external air, and has been most successfully
applied for the Prevention of Smoke, and the Ventilation
of Buildings and Ships.

IRON HURDLES /
ARE far preferable for Fencing to Hedges or Walls,
because they occupy less space, and do not, by at-
tracting Cattle, cause their manure to 'be unequally dis-
tributed, nor do they harbour birds or insects. At the
present time they may be substituted with considerable
profit, as will be seen by the followit‘g list of prices :
Sheep Hurdles, with 5 bars, 6ft. long, 3ft. high, 3s 2d each
Cattle Ditto, ditto, 3ft. Gin. high, 3s id „
