John Doole
1742 Advert. 'JOHN DOOLE, IRON-FOUNDER, near the Common-Key, in Ipswich, MAKES and Sells all Sorts of Run PLOUGH BREASTS, GROUND IRONS and FURRS, by Wholefale or Retale, as ufual. He likewife fells New Iron Pots, at Seven Farthings a Pound. N. B. He gives ready Money for Rabbit and Hare Skins, old Linen-Rags, and old Brafs and Pewter, honertly come by. ## At the fame Place are fold all Sorts of Tea, at the loweft Prices. A certain Perfon has advertifed, that he has got a Parcel of Plough Brearts come home, and that he will fell them cheaper than the worft that ever was caft; but this is falfe; for I have Breafts by me, that I will fell cheaper than he, and yet they fhall laft longer than his. I likewife challenge him, to fhew any Quantity of Plough Brefts againft me, for what Wager he will make; and I will hold him two to one, that my Breafts that I make, are cast cleaner, and made in a better Form to Turn the Work, and will laft longer than his. As for his pretending to fay, that a foft Breaft will do twice the Service of a wrought Breaft, it is entirely falfe; for a Breaft that is made fo foft, will wear up as faft as a wrought Breaft. The Perfons that have had fuch foft Brearts, know that by Experience. I have had the Experience of making of Plough Brefts for Sixteen Years paft, and I will make bold to fay, that I know how to mix the Mettle proper to make Plough Breafts with as well as any Man in England. If any of my Breafts don't turn the Work at any Time within two Months according to Satisfaftion, I will exchange it; or if any of my Breafts which I promife to be good breaks within nine Months Time, I will exchange it for one Shilling.'[1]
