CAUTION.
HALL'S PATENT STARCH.
MR. LAWRENCE HALL deems it a duty to himself
and the Public to guard thern against the many spurious
imitations which are daily foisted upon them under the va-
rious denominations of " Best Patent Starch," " Best White
Patent Starch," " Patent Glazed Starch," " Satin Faced
Starch," " Superior Patent Starch," &c. &c. These inva
riably disappoint consumers, and greatly injure them by an
inferior article being imposed on them as his make.
It is a fact well known, that it was a few years after Mr.
HALL took out a Patent for his invention before he brought
the Article to the perfection for general use to which it has
now attained ; and it is better known still, that all the imi-
tators have utterly failed in making a Starch at all similar or
equal to HALL'S Patent Starch, other makers being ignorant
of his present mode of preparing it; and if such were not
the case, their premises and situation would not be suitable.
Purchasers of Starch are therefore particularly requested not
to be deceived by a spurious article, and they are respectfully
requested to ask for
HALL'S IMPROVED PATENT STARCH.
No other Makers of Starch ever had a Patent for it.

housemen, &c. in the kingdom.

NEW TEA WAREHOUSE,
34. RANELAGII-STRgET,
ESTABLISHED IN 1832.

A_
S an Establishment for the SALE of TEA, under the
provisions of the Opening of the Trade to the East,
previously monopolized by Charter by the East India Com-
pany, and, although Free Trade Tea has been subsequently
sold upon the most liberal scale, numerous mushroom Esta-
blishments have, at various times, and still continue, to im-
pose upon the unwary by advertising the Sale of Tea, at ex-
traordinary low prices, consequent upon the Trade to the
East being thereby open.
JAMES COOPER, in an advertisement he had the plea-
sure of laying before the Public a short time ago, having
noticed to the Trade the inconsistency of inexperienced
young Houses making plausible pretensions, and, by a great
paraphernalia, and expense of placarcling and advertising
&c. &c., wishing to palm off iip.m the public a system as new
that had been respectably and well conducted for a number
of years, he is proud to believe, that the expose-he made did
convince a great many Families of the fallacy of obtaining a
superior article in Tea, by the mere assertion, that, as young
beginners. they could do business for less profits, or upon
better terms, than parties who with every requisite to guar-
rantee the Public of their capacity, cash to go into the
market upon the best terms, and of known respectability and
character, and challenging competition, he is attacked by an
advertisement, now going the round of the papers, of inter-
ested motives. He begs to assure the Public, that his desire
was, and is, only to point out the inconsistencies before al-
luded to ; and, in the advertisement in question, he will
analyze two items, to show how the Public may be duped, or
the Fair Trader injured, by undue competition.
Good sound Tea is advertised at 4s. per lb. Any of the
importers or merchants would satisfy the public, that sound
Tea, in bond, cannot be bought under ls. 91d. at the very
lowest cash price : the duty is 2s. ad., making 3s. Ind. be-
fore it is received upon the premises of the retailer; there-
fore, sound Tea cannot be fairly retailed at 4s. per lb. That,
he trusts, will suffice to show how Tea is dealt with.
The other item is in Coffee, " Finest Old Mellow-flavoured
Jamaica is offered at 2s. 2d."

Fine Jamaica COFFEE was sold, by Public auction, on
Friday last, 29th ult., to wholesale dealers, at 151 s. per cwt.,
to which, when the duty is added, take the public coffee roast-
ers' return, or the printed calculation of the price of Coffee
after the loss by roasting, which has been accurately calcu-
lated and printed for the guidance of the Trade, and a card
in the possession of most in the Trade, and which J. C.
will be happy to show any one curious to see the calculation,
that Coffee, at 151 s. in bond, is made by this accurately-cal-
culated return to stand in 2s. 3d. per lb. before it is received
into the shop of the retailer. So that, to be sold at 2s. 2d.
to get a profit, there must be chicory, chicanery, or inexpe-
rience, as J. C. does not believe that any of these plausible,
advertising, low-price offering houses will wittingly sell to a
sacrifice ; therefore, he again begs the public not to be led
away by the gilded pretensions of every ephemeral Establish-
ment, setting up in the sale of the now important articles of
Tea and Coffee, offering their goods at extraordinary low
prices, and by a great parade, without ever thinking of the
unobtrusive Fair Trader, or palate or interest of the Con-
sumer ; and, by a device, wishing to palm off the system as
a new principle of Free Trade, when it has been in operation
by such numerous houses of respectability so long as Seven
Years. It was to caution the unwary that the Advertiser
was induced to bring the attention of consumers of these
useful household articles, when in a state of purity, before
the public ; and in such a state, at a proportionate price,
both Tea and Coffee can always be obtained at his Old Esta-
blishment, in Ranelagh-street, as also at his recent Establish-
ment, at Seacombe. J. C. again takes this opportunity of
returning his thanks to a discerning Public for the extensive
has experienced, and respectfully patronage he solicits a Goods
con-
tinuance, so long as the he offers shall deserve it.
