      V ICOLL'SNEW REGISTERED PALETOT L ^ i has all those advantages which secured such general popularity to Messrs . IS'icoll ' s original paletot , that is to say , it avoids giving to the wearer an outre appearance , so that professional men and all others can use it during morning and afternoon , in or out of doors . Secondly ., there is an absence of unnecessary seams , well known to secures more graceful outline , as well as to effect a great saving in wear ; tho latter-advantage is considerably enhanced ' by the application of a peculiar and neatly stitched binding , the mode of effecting which is patented . Great exertions are being made to supply Messrs . Kicoll ' s agents throughout the country and . tue colonies with an assortment of this new garment simultaneously with the display in . London , but it is necessary to inform the public that all Messrs . Ni coil ' s manufactures maybe distinguished by a trade mark , consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy this is fraud , and maybe thus detected . If the garment is dark-coloured , the label has a black ground , with the firm ' s name and addr <* s woven by the Jaefluard loom in gold-coloured silk ; if the ferment is Jifrh ' t-eoloured . the label hi us a pale drab ground , ami red silk letters .
