Dear Sirs,
After a period extending over fifty years, the above "old firm"
mywill cease trading on June 3, 1916 (owing to ill-health).
During that time many friendships have been made, and it is with
much regret that I bid you farewell, as far as this business is concerned.
I heartily thank you for the courtesy extended towards our firm :
the Wholesalers for their attention to our requirements ; and the Retailers
for their steady support and friendly feelings which have done so much
towards making business life a pleasure.
Wishing you all good luck,
Sincerely yours,
JOHN CHARLES JACKSON,
P.S.—After June 10, letters to be addressed: Trading as HENRY JACKSON & SONS.

An Apology !
WE owe you an apology for the inconvenience
caused by the present serious delays in the
delivery of McCLINTON'S SOAPS AND
TOILET PREPARATIONS.
This is entirely owing to the difficulty in getting the
Steamship and Railway Companies to accept ordinary
traffic, so much of their space being taken up by
Government supplies.
Now, however, that we are a Government Controlled
Establishment, we have a promise from the Ministry
of Munitions that much better transit facilities will
be given us shortly.
Meantime, until we are sure of being able to effect
speedy deliveries, if you are in immediate need of
stock we shall be pleased to send you an 11 lb.
assorted parcel, by post, on usual terms, we paying
postage. This offer is open, not only to our direct
customers, but to those who may be having difficulty
in getting supplies through their Wholesalers.
We annex a specimen order, and shall be glad if
customers will keep as near to this in quantity as
possible, although, of course, the preparations may
be varied if desired.
At the same time please send your usual order, which
will be forwarded with all possible speed by rail.
