MOURNING-COURT, FAMILY, AND COMPLIMENTARY.
THE
THE PROPRIETOR of the LONDON GENERAL MOURNING WARE-

HOUSE begs respectfully to remind families whose bereavements compel them to
adopt mourning attire, that every article (of the very best description) requisite for a com-
plete outfit of mourning, may be had at his establishment, at a moment's notice. Widows'
and Family Mourning is always kept made up ; and a note, descriptive of the mourning
required, will ensure everything necessary for the occasion being sent immediately, either
in Town or into Country, and on the most reasonable terms. It is also to be observed,
that as both Milliners and Dressmakers are constantly employed in making up articles in
crape (at all times difficult), superiority in mode, and unusual neatness, may be relied on.

W. C. JAY, Proprietor, 247, 249, 251, Regent-street.
