All of the above articles are offered by the manufacturer of them with the utmost confidence in their superiority ; and he feels assured that a whole book of certificates and puffs would not be half so convincing that his manufactures are really what he warrants them to be, as the fact that there is hardly a city, town, or village of any importance in the United States, in which MASON'S BLACKING and INK are not only known, but esteemed as standard articles of use.
Orders for exportation promptly executed, and the quality of the article always warranted.
