STATIONERY WAREHOUSE,
25, OXFORD STREET,

The Cheapest House for Writing Papers, Envelopes,
&c., in the Kingdom.

PARKINS & GOTTO, in presenting their revised

LIST OF STATIONERY for 1853, beg particularly
to impress upon the Nobility and Gentry, the fact
that being bona fide Manufacturers (and not mere

&buyers sellers, as most Stationers are; they can

produce and supply Goods to the Public, with
one profit only (instead of three or four) by which
means they confidently assert their prices will be
found, upon comparison, at least 30 per cent,
cheaper than any other House.

Added to the above advantage, no charge is
made for Stamping Arms, Coronets, Crests, Ini
tials, or Addresses on Paper and Envelopes; and

all Parcels amounting to 20*. and upwards, sent
Carriage paid to any Railway Station in the
Kingdom, upon receipt of a Post Office Order.

and interests of their Customers, personal superiu*

tendence, and a perseverance of that honourable
and straightforward mode, which they have hither-

to pursued, to merit a continuance of those favours
which it is their pleasing duty to gratefully
acknowledge.

All Papers warranted to contain twenty per-
fect Quires in the Ream, and sold in half and

quarter Ream packets, at the same price as per
ream. To meet the demands of every class, a
Stock is kept of upwards of 60 different kinds of
Wriiing Papers and Envelopes, cut, packed, and
numbered, so that orders to any extent can be
executed without delay. The price of every
article marked in plain figures, and the goods
exchanged, or money returned without the least

hesitation if not fully approved.

TEBMS-

To prevent delay and unpleasant mistakes, all
orders must be accompanied with a remittance.
Parcels sent the same day as ordered. On orders

exceeding i'5, a discount of 5 per cent, is allowed.

MOURNING STATIONERY.

MOURNING STATIONERY was always

charged much higher in proportion than
Plain Stationery, until some years back
we effected a Reduction, and by the con-

stant attention since given to this part of the
Business, the Price is so reduced, that all
parties in Mourning can use Black Bordered

Paper and Envelopes. We have three dif-

ferent sorts of Paper, which are Black
Bordered of Four different widths, and
including the various sizes, have constantly
in Stock upwards of

FIFTY DIFFERENT SORTS,
a variety much greater than any other

House in London attempts to keep.

That numbered in the following List, from
20 to 23, is a good serviceable Paper for a
Family in Mourning.

The quality of that numbered 24 to 31, is
very superior, being a superfine Thick Satin.

And from 32 to 39, is the Best Linen
Cream Laid Paper that is made, and is

charged at most Houses 4s. and 5s. per
Ream higher.

PRICE SIXPENCE,

OR

Free by Post, for Twelve Stamps.

&Parkins Gotto particularly direct atten-

tion in their Sample Packet, as considerable

trouble has been taken to select and arrange the

samples. Each sheet of Paper and Envelope is

numbered and marked with the Price, in pencil,

and is warranted to be what it purports, a true

sample of the Papers sold in Reams or otherwise.

No other house has ever attempted to get up a

Sample Packet, and the public cannot fail to see

the advantages offered them, as they are enabled

to judge and to test the different qualities of Paper

Sic., sold at one of the largest houses, having

the best selected Stock in London.

Should an order not be given, the contents of
the Sample Packet (being marked in pencil only)
will be found quite worth the price charged, but

those!who purchase the Sample Packet, we have
no doubt will become our customers for their regular

supply of Stationery.

PARKINS & GOTTO S STEEL PENS

In Boxes, 6d. each, containing One Dozen, or 4s. per gross*

This is a most pleasant and easy writing Pen, combining the
elasticity of the quill with the durability of the hardest
tempered steel, and perfectly free from that disagreeable
scratch so peculiar to the ordinary metal pen.

PARKIN’S & GOTTO’S

EVERLASTING GOLD PENS.

In the manufacture of these Pens, great care has been
taken to combine strength and flexibility. They are made of
fine Gold, and tipped with the hardest and most indestructible
metal hitherto discovered, and warranted to resist the action
of the most powerful inks or any other Acid. Those who
are unable to use the Steel Pen, will find this a most admi-
rable substitute for the Quill, and once supplied, may say

with confidence, it is for life. Many of these Pens have
been in use a number of years without perceptible wear

and if violence is not done to the Pen, it will be exchanged
at any time, should it fail to act correctly, or should it not
suit the hand-writing of the purchaser. Each Pen is marked
“ Parkins and Gotto, London.” Price 10s. 6(L

In a neat shut-up Pocket Holder. Equal in every
respect to those sold at other Houses for 21s.

N.B. None of the above Pens are genuine unless stamped
“ Parkins and Gotto, 25, Oxford-street.”
