( Secretary . ) Notwithstanding the existence of several Cab Companies , it is admitted , on all hands , that there is ample room for another . The Directors on that account have determined upon starting the Six Days Cab Company , to run at reduced fares and to abolish all Sunday traffic . The degree of success that has attended similar Associations proves that there is very little speculation in the objects of this Company . The following are among the advantages which this Company presents : — 1 st . —To have first-rate Horses and Carriages , the latter to be provided with improved Indicators , by which it will be at once seen the distance travelled . 2 nd . —To abolish the Insult and Extortion now too prevalent , by employing meil of known respectability of character , who will be provided with Livery Coats and Hats , and paid a regular weekly salary . 3 rd . —To afford their Servants the opportunity of moral and religious instruction , by entirely abolishing all Sunday Work , thereby constituting this , ' what the Title imports—viz ., a Six-Day Conveyance Company . 4 th . —To bring the luxury of Cabriolet riding within the reach of all classes by reducing the Fares to ( one half of the present legal charge ) 4 ( 1 . per mile , which , by the calculations subjoined , are clearly shown to be both possible and profitable . The following statement is submitted to the Public for consideration . It is calculated that each £ 1000 will purchase 10 Cabs , 20 Horses , and Harness complete . BBCT . IPT 8 .

      WORKING TAILQES' ASSOCIATION , 34 , ' Castle-Street , East , Oxford-Stebet . WamSe Coopek , Manager . As working-men organized for the management and execution of our own business , we appeal with great confidence to our fellow working-men for their hearty support . We ask that support in the plain words of plain men , without the usual shopkeeping tricks and falsehoods . We do so because we know that we offer an opportunity for the exercise of a sound economy , but we make our appeal more particularly because we believe that every honest artisan in supporting us will feel that he is performing a duty to th « men of his class , which to overlook or neglect , would be a treason and a disgrace . We ask for the support of working-men in full assurance that no better value can he given for money than tha ^ whieb . we offer , —and we desire success through that support , not solely that we may rescue ourselves from the wretchedness and slavery of the slop-system , —but more particularly that our fellowworkers of all trades , encouraged by our example , may , through the profitable results of self-management , place themselves and their children beyond the reach of poverty or crime . Relying on the good faith of the people , we await patiently the result of this appeal . The annexed List of Prices will show that in seeking the welfare of the Associates they make no monopoly profits . Notice . —All work done on the premises . No Sunday labour is allowed . The books of account are open to every customer . Customers are invited to inspect the healthy and commodious workshops any week-day between the hours of Ten and Four .

The Investment of Money with this Association secures equal advantages to the Savings of the Provident , and the Capital of the Affluent , and affords to both the means of realising the highest rate of Interest yielded by first-class securities , in which alone the Funds are employed . The constant demand for advances upon securities of that peculiar class , which are offered almost exclusively to Life Assurance Companies , such as Reversions , Life Interests , & c , enables the Board of Management to employ Capital on more advantageous terms and at higher rates of Interest than could otherwise , with equal safety , be obtained . The present rate of Interest is Jive per cent , per annum , and this rate will continue to be paid bo long aa the Assurance department finds tho same safe and profitable employment for money . Interest payable hay-yearly in January and July . Money intended for Investment is received daily between tlio hours of 10 and 4 o ' clock , at the Offices of the Association . Immediate Annuities granted , and the business ~ Life As « urance in all its branches , transacted , on highly advantageous terms .
