CEDAR STREET, NEW YORK.

We established a WAREHOUSE in the year 1843, forthffpurpose
of supplying the City and Interior Trade with PRINTED CALI¬
COES EXCLUSIVELY, at low prices.

As we are at all times the most extensive cash buyers of Prints in
this country,—besides the styles printed EXCLUSIVELY for our¬
selves, and our large importations of British Prints, we possess ad¬
vantages secured thereby, and the lorgest assorfmevt in This World.

LEE & BREWSTER.

P.S. A Prtnt House, recently established in this city, have issued
a "private circular" of wliich a very large edition has been forward
ed to every partof the country, offering persons to whom ifwas ad¬
dressed "Jive per cent, commiision," on all sales made to such mer¬
chants as they could induce to take " letters of introduction, open or
sealed."

This secret proposal has been made to tlifferent editors of news¬
papers, provided ihey would publish their elaborate advertisement
for nothing. Some country editors have been thoughtlessly misled
by it into the unprofessional and unprofitable service of practising
these tricks upon their neighbour merchants. The great mass of hon-
orohle editors, however, as might naturally be supposed, indignantly
rejected the proffered "truck-anddicker," and many of ihem reject¬
ed freely and justly upon its absurdity, in various editorial articles.

Some.c^these papers, however, inadvertently omitting to designate
the firm, only mentioning " a Print House," and, as our House in the
one most generally known throughout the Country as "THE PRINT
HOUSE," it is natural that ours should be considered the House re¬
ferred to.                       •

We therefore deem it our duly to inform the Public, that we are
not entitled to the profits or the iionor of this novel invention to swell
trade.                                                                         .        '

Merchants, " without letters of intrnduotion, open or sealed," are
now offered Great Bargains in Prints only,—but no " five per
cent, commission" to drummers and editors.
