Economy is the Road to Wealth, And a Penny Saved is as good as two Pence earned.

Who has removed from 411 to 422 Broadway, and continues as usual to carry on the Clothes Dressing in a correct and systematical style; having a perfect knowledge of the Business, having been legally bred to it, his mode of Cleansing and Dressing Coats, Pantaloons, &c. is by Steam Sponging, which is the only correct system of Cleaning, which he will warrant to extract all kinds of Stains, Greace-Spots, Tar, Paint, &c. or no pay will be taken.
N.B. The public are cautioned against the imposture of those who attempt the Dressing of Clothes by Steam Sponging, who are totally unacquainted with the Business, as there are many Establishments which have recently been opened in this city.

All clothes left to be cleaned or repaired will be good for one year and one day, if not claimed in that time, they will be sold at public auction.
