BLUE ANCHOR. NORTH LANE, CANTERBURY. 

F. SAUNDERS, In offering his thanks to his friends and the public generally for the decided preference bestowed on him for so many years past, begs to inform them that he has on stock a good supply of the above articles of superior quality.

N.B.— F. S. much regrets feeling it to be his duty to himself and his patrons, to caution them against being imposed on by a person lately in his employ, but now following the same business on his own account, and who, to obtain orders, has assured some old customers that he "was the manufacturer to his late employer," an assertion entirely false, the advertiser always having manufactured the articles for which he is so celebrated, entirely himself, and he feels confident they still remain unequalled by any other offered to the public.

DEATHS. SAUNDERS.

Dec. 4, at Canterbury, Sarah, the wife of Mr. Saunders, of the "Blue Anchor," North-lane, aged 50.
