CAUTION.-HALL'S PATENT STARCH

MR. LAWRENCE HALL begs to acknowledge the
liberal patronage he has received for so many years,
and deems it a duty to himself and the public to guard them
against the many spurious imitations which are daily foisted
upon them under the various denominations of " BEST
PATENT STARCH," " BEST WHITE PATENT STARCH,"
" PATENT GLAZED STARCH,"'" SATIN-FACED STARCH,"
" SUPERIOR PATENT STARCH," &C. &C. These invariably
disappoint the consumer, and greatly injure him (the only
Patentee) by an inferior article being imposed on them as
his make; and he begs further to caution them against pur-
chasing an article now offering for Sale, which, being made
from Potatoes, is in the form of powder, and may thus be
distinguished from HIS PATENT STARCH. Every consumer
knows that Starch made from Potatoes is of very inferior
strength, and will not retain its stiffening qualities when
exposed to the atmosphere.
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 imita-
tors 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.

IUFR. HoDGSON respectfully invites the attention of
it"- the Public to his SPLENDID Establishment,

As every article which domestic• comfort can require or
wealth command is exhibited to the visitor in infinite variety.
The Rooms are unusually lofty, giving facilities for the
display of every description of Goods. In measurement the
first Sale-room exceeds 90 feet by 20 feet, and the Anti-
room 70 feet by 17 feet, together with a spacious Warehouse
contiguous, which having the advantage of being on the
ground
floor, are better calculated for Sales of HOUSE-
HOLD FURNITURE, Manufacturers' STOCKS, GLASS,

cently built a Commodious

His long experience in the business he submits as a guarantee
for every attention to their interests, assuring those who may
have occasion to purchase, that the practice too frequently
adopted of procuring New Furniture, manufactured by un-
skilled artificers, is in many cases attended with an immenss
pecuniary sacrifice in the first instance, and a serious loss
eventually, from inattention to the material by the manufac-
turer. . _ _
