JOHN CUNNINGHAM, TAYLOR, At the Mahogany Door, near the Chapel, King's Street Golden Square.

[Name on the Door.]

THE variety of Advertisements by several Master Taylors in London, who have candour and honesty enough to adhere strictly to the terms of their proposals, induces him to offer his most humble address to the Publick, in hopes of such encouragement as his ability and integrity shall claim.—Gentlemen who are pleased to favour him with their commissions may rely upon their being executed according to the following rates:

Laced or embroidered Clothes cheap in proportion, and executed with the greatest elegance, propriety and dispatch.

In cases of emergency a Suit made for a gentleman on one day's notice.—Whole Sets of Liveries executed in two days after receiving the order.

Although the above Prices are much inferior to Taylors Bills in general, he undertakes to furnish every article of the best quality.

Gentlemen finding their own Cloth, or servants liveries, will be equally acceptable; and when finished, (upon calculation), will be found not to exceed the above estimation.

No scruple as to sizes, like some of his advertising Brethren, admitting of all that comprehend common sizes.—Silk Garters to Breeches understood.—Ladies Riding Habits and Childrens Clothes made with taste, and to fit to a Nicety, which is what few Taylors attempt, and fewer perform to satisfaction.

A little consideration must be productive of the possibility of the above Plan's being executed with honour and justice, especially as every article is purchased with ready money; the undertaker's ambition extending no further than doing justice to his customers, and procuring a genteel livelihood for his family, in preference to riches.
