JAMES LAW,
FIRST-RATE COAT DRESSER,
177 William-street, New-York,
CONTINUES to cleanse and dress Coats, Pantaloons, Ladies' Habits and Marino Shawls, in the neatest possible manner. He also makes, alters and repairs Gentlemen's Clothes, to their entire satisfaction, and upon the most reasonable terms.
His mode of dressing clothes is by STEAM SPONGING, which he has followed with much success for several years past. All kinds of spots or stains are extraced and the cloth restored to the appearance of new; and this he engages to perform without any injury to the cloth, and at least equal to any thing of the kind done in this or any other city of the United States.
