Messrs. JAY

Respectfully request the honour of a visit from Ladies and Gentlemen visiting the British Metropolis to inspect a variety of

ELEGANT SILK COSTUMES, PARISIAN MANTLES, ARTISTIC MILLINERY, HATS,

AND EVERY VARIETY IN DRESS,

REPRESENTING THE

CORRECT FASHIONS of the SEASON, Specially selected by a very experienced Modiste in Paris for THE LONDON

GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE.

The following Extract from an American Paper is a pleasing testimony to the system of business adopted at this House:

"We visited, during our sojourn in London last year, the Warehouse of Messrs. JAY, the most noted Establishment of the kind in the world. In looking through its numerous Departments we were able to appreciate the true cause of the distinguished success which has attended the Establishment for many years.

"Messrs. JAY receive large supplies of Costumes and Millinery direct from the first Houses in Paris, and they are sold at much more moderate Prices than Ladies can procure them on the Continent. We take pleasure in directing the attention of our fair Readers to this time-honoured Establishment, where we are sure they will be honestly and loyally dealt with.
