The proprietor of the BOMBAY SILK STORE begs to notify the General Public that' they have opened a new and up-to-date silk-establishment at No. 2, D'Aguilar Street where all the latest varieties in silk piece- goods and ready-made silk articles are being displayed.
Having been in this business for the last twenty years in the Colony, they possess thorough knowledge and experience of the requirements of the customers and a glance through some of the varied and attractive selections of goods would convince the pros- pective buyers as to the exclusive class of silks they offer to them.
