Cato and Sons

of 89 Holborn Hill, London

1802 Advert: 'WIRE MEAT SAFES and DISH COVERS, to keep Meat, Poultry, Butter, Cream, Cheese, Fruit, and all sorts of Victuals, from Flies, Wasps, and other Insects and Vermin. The Wire is so contrived to admit of a free circulation of air, by which means dressed or undressed Meat may be kept twice the time as in any thing else. They are universally approved of by every family that has had them, for their great utility, particularly in hot weather, when fresh meat is so soon putritied by flies and other insets. They are found of the greatest use to families in the East and West Indies, and other hot climates, and to Captains of Ships. Families going into the country for the summer, will find them exceedingly useful, and are now to be seen in great variety, at THOMAS CATO'S and SON, Wire-workers, Wire-weavers, and Birdcage-makers, at their Manufactory, No. 89, Holborn-hill, opposite St Andrew's Church; where also are made the following, with every other article in the Wire Branch, viz. neat Brass and Iron Wire- work tor Libraries, Aviaries, Granaries, Store-house Windows, &c. ; a great variety of Patterns of their new-invented, strong Light Wire Fence for Parks, Plantations, Pleasure-grounds, &c. proof against horses, oxen, sheep, deer, and all kinds of cattle. A large assortment of Green Wire, Folding and Circular Fire Guards and Fenders. Large Larders for Venison, and Aviaries for Birds, made to any size, and so portable they may be carried to any part of the kingdom.
