The facilities afforded by larger premises and improved machinery enable him to turn out work to great advantage, and as he is prepared to give his customers every benefit, they may rely upon having their orders executed with expedition at moderate charges, good returns, and a genuine article. J.C. receives wool to be manufactured to order at lowest price, or taken in exchange for manufactured goods. He also takes in all kinds of wool for carding; yarn for weaving; cloth for milling and dressing; sheep skins, etc. for curing and dying. From this long and practical experience and knowledge of the trade, combined with personal supervision, and devoting himself to the interest of his business and customers, J.C. hopes to receive a continuation and extension of that patronage which has hitherto been so liberally bestowed upon him' 1979 Item Level
