town, would most respectfully inform the citizens
of Washington and vicinity that he has taken the
stand at the corner Of 18th street and Pennsylvania
avenue south side, formerly occupied by J. Berk-
ley, where he invites his old customers, and as
many new ones as may be pleased to try his skill in
the art Of dying silk wooen, and cotton goods, and
cloth dressing. The preference which has been
given him by a large portion Of the citizens Of
Washington in carrying their work to Georgetown,
has induced him. for the convenience ofthe public, and
with view to enlarge his business, and by an exhi-
bition Of superior work to extend his reputation, to
take stand in the metropolis, where he is prepared
to receive and execute all manner of ladies' and gem
tlemen's apparel in superior stile. Shawls OF
every material and texture cleansed, bleached, or
dyed, and the border preserved
He conceives it unnecessary further to commend
himself to the public, as he has long been known
country. He has lately built and fitted up an extern
sve and complete dye-house, and is prepared to do
all kinds of work with despatch, and in a style not
to be surpassed in this country He especially calls
the attention of gentlemen to the superior manner in
which coats and pants, and gentlemen's apparel
generally, are done. The shape and of the coat
are not in the slightest degree injured; and the color
is warranted to stand, and not in the least to rub
All kinds of work will be thankfully received, and
done on moderate terms.
N. B.--The present is the best season for cleans
ing and diving curtains; and he would call the otten-
ton of clearinghouse keepers, tavern-keepers and
others having curtains TO cleanse or color, TO the
present, as more propitious time than the fall.
The work can be done better in good weather; and
there ia less hurry in summer. May 6--dlms
