through the public journals, by n New York Gift
Sto c, which are calculated to deceive; who even
presume to advertise themselves the ginators
OF the Gift Book Enterprise. which was first sue
cessfally established, and [ may say honarablv
conducted by myself. This concern, who are pro-
claiming themselves THE Oldest ia the business =
indebted TO me- not only for their first ideas of
conducting the business, butfor stock to CONNIE
with, and place to commence in. Their state

advertisements. nor for the manner IN when New

that these parties have been referring, without
authority permission, to the largest and M most
widely known publishing house in the U nited
States. l am in ormed by this firm, which is To-
