D. NICHOLSON & Co. The Proprietors of the ARGYLL GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE respectfully invite the attention of Ladies and the Public generally to the Che-Kiang Silk, a Chinese manufacture of peculiar richness and durability. The superior quality of the silk of China over that of any other country is a fact known to all; it therefore is only necessary to mention a few of the characteristics of the Che-Kiang Silk not obtained in the manufactures previously introduced. Firstly, the perfect blackness of dye; this alone proves the superior quality of the fabric. Secondly, the ingenuity displayed in weaving, the threads being so united as not in any way to cut each other, a fault so much observed in the goods hitherto introduced; and, thirdly, it possesses a richness and elasticity of touch which prevents it from becoming crushed in wear, or in any way damaged by pressure. These qualities the Proprietors feel confident will of themselves be sufficient to ensure its speedy and extensive patronage without further comment, and only desire to add that they have negotiated to receive all deliveries of this article into England for a period not less than two years; consequently, it will be only from or through them that it can at present be obtained.
