ANNE COWBURN,
Park Place (end of Corporation -street), Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester,
Solicits inspection of her New LANDAU concealed Pillar HINGE, fitted to allow the head to fall entirely flat, without any complicated fixings, which are so liable to soon get out of order (incurring great trouble and expense in repairing). These hinges, which are completely hid from view, do not break the outline of the body and leather work, as all others do, and entirely effect the removal of the OLD, MOST OBJECTIONABLE, AND NEVER BEFORE REMEDIED NUISANCE of rusty hinges, and dirt at the top of the doors, and they exclude all wet from inside.
A. C. desires also especial notice of her new much admired and famous ANGLO-FRENCH BROUGHAM AND PRIZE PAGNEL DRAG, in all sizes: PARK PHAETONS, in elegant styles, which, with carefully-selected variety of beautifully-designed CARRIAGES (combining the beet materials, lightness, and durability) are now In her
SPACIOUS NEW SHOW ROOMS.
N.B.—The HINGE is now on view, fitted toFinished and Unfinished LANDAUS.
