MOURNING.--COURT, FAMILY, and COMPLIMENTARY.--The Proprietor of THE LONDON
GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE begs respectfully to remind families whose
bereavements compel them to adopt Mourning Attire, that every article of
the very best description, requisite for a complete outfit of Mourning, may
be had at this Establishment at a moment's notice.
ESTIMATES FOR SERVANTS' MOURNING, affording a great saving to families, are
furnished; whilst the habitual attendance of experienced assistants
(including dressmakers and milliners), enables them to suggest or supply
every necessary for the occasion, and suited to any grade or condition of
the community. WIDOWS' AND FAMILY MOURNING is always kept made up, and a
note, description of the Mourning required, will insure its being sent
forthwith, either in Town or into the Country, and on the most Reasonable
Terms.
W. C. JAY, 247-249. Regent Street.
