RICHARD AUSTEN
Having taken over the entire business carried on in connection with Mr. G. WILLETT, returns his best thanks for the liberal share of general patronage with which the establishment has hitherto been favored.
Although so lately established as a resident in Port Elizabeth, R.A. indulges the hope that he will not be required to set forth at length a list of claims on the consideration of its inhabitants, appealing to his past performances as vouchers for his future, and trusting to them to be enabled from time to time to reiterate the sentiment with which he commenced this advertisement. His aim will ever be “to promote his own interest by consulting the advantage of his customers”, and he feels confident that a discerning Public will appreciate and encourage his endeavours.
