GRAHAM’S TOWN AND PORT ELIZABETH OMNIBUS
The Proprietors beg to inform the Public that the Omnibuses continue to run twice a week between the above places as usual, that is starting from Both Places on Mondays and Thursdays at the same time and meeting Halfway, where the passenger finds comfortable accommodation for the night.
They are proud to say that by employing two of the best drivers in the Colony they have never had an accident, and can therefore recommend that mode of travelling as one the safest, cheapest and most comfortable, and are gratified for the liberal support they have experienced, and feel satisfied from the public spirit of their customers that they may expect to be even better supported in future.
