Would take this opportunity to say to their customers and to the publie generally, that they continue to execute all kinds of
BOOK AND JOB PRINTING,
on the shortest notice, and en reasonable terms. It is con- fidently asserted that their facilities for the despatch and work- manlike execution of all Jobs in their line, are nequaHed by any other establishment in the State. They would barely remark, for the benefit of all whom it may concern, that they occasionally furnish themselves with New Type from New- York and Boston ; and further, that they have in their Office, Type not " just received" that will answer to the modern description " ENTIRELY" new, which they would be happy to arrange into
BBochs, Pamphlets, Catalogues, CIRCULARS, SHOW BILLS, POST BILLS, BILLS OF LADING, BALL CARDS, Druggists and Manufacturers LABELS, &C. &C.
They will manufacture to order, BLANK BOOKS, CHECK BOOKS and ORDER BOOKS, at short notice.
