Wednesday 28 May 1834

A MISREPRESENTATION EXPLAINED
Few feel more pleasure in the prosperity of young beginners than the Undersigned, still he cannot help noticing the inconsistent terms in which an Advertisement of “George PARKER and James SMITHERS”, under date the 24th instant, is coached. The latter had been employed by the Undersigned as a candle-maker till very lately; and although not always quite satisfied with him, he did, perhaps, his best in the execution of his duty.
The Undersigned would now suggest to “Messrs. PARKER & SMITHERS” that the best method to obtain not only his good will but a due share of public patronage, if they value either, would be, when they offer themselves to public notice, to do so under the protection of undisguised facts: this would procure them public as well as private esteem and encouragement.
The melters in the Undersigned’s service produce, of course, the same quality of tallow as that of which James SMITHERS made candles for him; and even had not J. SMITHERS been succeeded in that service by persons, at least, of equally approved ability, such has always been the quality of tallow made use of that even an indifferent tradesman, out of such materials, could not fail to produce candles of equally good quality with those his establishment hitherto supplied.
If the young men, in future advertisements, will but adhere to truth, they will heartily have the Undersigned’s approbation; if not, he will only meet such boyish misrepresentations with silence; and hereafter, of course, treat them with indifference.
