Whoever pleases to favor him with their orders in any of the branches of the White Smith Trade, &c. may depend upon being served on the most reasonable terms, their orders attended to in the most punctual and expeditious mariner, and their favors gratefully acknowledged.
N.B. A variety of Scale Beams, Air Jacks, Smith's Vices, and sundry other articles, ready made.'[1]
