Mechi's Address To His Customers And The Public.
3 rd . —Never to interpose an exorbitant profit between the producer and consumer , but to charge a moderate price for ready money . 4 th . —To pay a vigilant attention to the wants and wishes of my customers—combining therewith regularity , civility , order , and cleanliness in my establishment . oth . —To encourage with a liberal spirit the best workmen and manufacturers , with a view to stimulate their energies to do the best things in the best ways ; and thus , so far as an individual can doimprove the trade with which I am connected .
, I trust , also , I have never been found meanly depreciating any respectable competitors in trade , nor recommending new inventions till I had tried them myself . The result of faithfully pursuing tiie aforesaid line of conduct has been an immensely increased and rapidly accumulating trade , and a most valuable and attached connexion , to whom , to the latest day of my existence , I shall feel grateful , and look back with honest pride .
As a means of supplying my customers as reasonably as possible , and to avoid intermediate profits ( which , in London , so largely enhance the cost to the public ) , I purchase for cash , and manufacture extensively on my own premises , employing about Thirty or Forty Persons , besides a very large number of out-door Workmen , for whom I have not room on the premises ; thus affording every advantage to my customers who may wish articles made to order . My Shipping and Wholesale Department will be found to offer considerable advantages to Merchants and Captains who purchase largely .
After considerable thought and anxiety , I have succeeded in effecting some splendid improvements in the fitting , lighting , and arrangement of my premises ; these have been designed by myself , and executed by my own workmen on the premises . I trust they will be found eminently conducive to the comfort of my customers , by avoidance of noise , by abundance of light , aud by exposing readily and tastily to view the various elegancies I offer for sale , not second in appearance to any in this kingdom . I beg to solicit your further favours and recommendation , and remain Your faithful and obedient Servant , J . J . MECHI .
