"MASONIC J EWEL ATTACHER . —BTo . Adlard ^ ofai ^ High Holborn , W .

It has long been a subject of complaint that the wearing o £ the honourable insignia of rank and merit which grace the breasts of 30 manyof our Brethren , plays sad havoc with the fabric and material of the coat to which they arc attached . Bro . Adlard ' s invention entirely obviates this , in addition to saving much time and difficulty in the proper arrangement of the jewels , and we have very great pleasure in recommending it , warranted as wc arc in doing so by our personal experience . The price ( 7 s . Gd . ) places it within the reach of all . "Mtsonic Ma ^ axinc , Bro . Adlard ' s superior fitting Collars are also well worthy of the attention of the Craft .
