EG respectfully to intimate that with a view to reduce the expence of Freight for con- veying large articles from Calcutta to Chica, they are now completing every requisite in Furniture of a novel and portable description, by which much more than half the expence hitherto incurred will be saved. The appear ance of the Furniture whep put together will be equally handsome, it's substantiality will not be in the slightest degree affected, and the ar- rangement of the different parts will be so clear and distinct that the most inexperienced will be enabled to put them together.
Currie & Co, venture to think that this will form a great desideratum and tend much be remove the objection to ordering Furniture in Calcutta for China. They therefore venture to Solicit the patronage of the Community, and any orders with which they may be en- trusted, will meet with the most strict and punctual attention." stan
