Bit little more than three months have elaps-
ed since the subscriber submitted for the inspec-
ton of the public his superior fine FUR HATS,
at the low price of S4,25, equal, in all respect,
TO the most costly, (and with which he ciIallen-
pes a comparison) and in this short period oiime
he has more than realised his mot sanguine ex-
pectations He would therefore take this oppor-
UNITY of making his grateful acknowledgements
to Il discerning public, and also Of expressing llls
gratitude to his former friends and patrons who
have so generally called OH him since his re-es-
tablishment i'll busincss-as it is proof that he
has heretofore given satisfaction. lie will now
use every cxertion not only to please the fancy,
but to furnish the
CHEAPEST and BEST HAT IN THE CITY.
This he is enabled to do from his Practical
knowledge, and peculiarly economical cash sys-
TEN of business at less prices than they can be
offered by those who are mere buyers and sellers,
and still adhere TO the old credit system, with
high rents and eXtravaeant expenses. In proof
OF his position, he will, on Thursday, the 9th of
October, introduce for the inspection of the pub
lie
SUPERIOR FINE NUTRIA HAT,
on fine Russia body, at the unprecedented low
price of
THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS.
Equal in all respects to those sold under the old
system at 81 and s.. The above named price
will be strictly adhered to, and he trusts his friends
who order their Hats sent home, will not be of
Tended should the bill be sent at the same time,
or soon after, to their counting houses, as no
book of charges is kept i'll this establishment.
The subscriber is sorry 10 say that efforts have
been made and doubtless will continue to be
made by some, to injure his Economical and
Fashionable Establishment lie would there
fore particularly invite the public, after cXalnin-
ing every where else, 10 call and see him.
