IN reference to the Advertisement of Webley Brothers, cautioning 'tha public against " our Nelson Tweed Tj^vseks and Vests for 80s," our Advertisement shoii d hxve read "Imitation Nelson Tweed Trowsers and Vests 308," the word "imitation" was omitted (accidentally) by ■ ur clerk in copying it from a rough pencil memorandum. We beg to state that it was very far from our intention to .epresent them as beiug made up from their Tweeds; but rather to have implied that we have produced a superior class of goods in every respect, made to our own order, to compete in legitimate competition with Nelson Tweeds The excell nee of our goods has been confirmed by competent judges (not interested ones) who assure us that they are better finished, and more to the popular taste than the goods from which they were copied. The Public must now judge between our Goods at 30s, and the Webley 's at their price; our* principle being free trade and no monopoly, the latter haying been tbe ruin oi Nelson. T.S.W. & Co. would add that they shall always endeavor to act fairly and honorably wiih all who trade with them — selling at all times at the smallest remunerative prices, in spite of all the petty opposition they meet with. As to the " Spurious Imitation," we are prepared to give a guarantee ot durability with •' Our Nelson Tweed" Clothing. T. S. WYMOND & CO. .Nelson, October 29, 1872. 2315 ..',... FU B L IC NOT IC E.
