STEAM SCOURING & TAILORING.
J.C. THOMPSON & CO.
NO. 109 1-2 BOWERY,
(Between Hester & Grand street,)
Where they will continue as usual, to carry on their Clothing and Dressing Establishment, and perform their work in a correct and systematic style, having perfect knowledge of the business, and been brought up in it. Their mode of cleaning and dresing Coats, Pantaloons, &c. is by steam scouring and sponging, the only way of cleaning. They respectfully inform their friends and the public, that they extract all kinds of stains, grease, paint, tar, &c. on a plan different from the dyers: refit and alter to any size or shape, with new collars, cuffs, &c. at very reduced prices. They will not boast of their art, but leave the work to prove itelf. Where the seams have worn white in black or blue Coats, they can be restored to their original colour.
New-York, Sept 25, 1828.
