THE UNDERSIGNED begs to inform his friends and the public that he has concluded arrangements by which the sales of Flour manufactured by him on and after the first prox., will be in future conducted solely by John Buchanan Esq., at the store belonging to the undersigned in Custom House Street, where large stocks will be kept on hand and from which orders to any extent can be immediately executed. Orders for Flour addressed to Mr. Buchanan at the Mill also, will receive prompt attention; orders for Bran, Pollard, or Sharps (seconds) to the undersigned at the Mill as usual. As arrangements have been lately made for the importation of considerable quantities of Wheat, some of which is shortly expected to arrive, and important additions have been made to the Mill machinery, merchants, Bakers, and Country Settlers may depend on being able to obtain Flour of first-rate quality at a very moderate price and in any quantities that they may require.
