CHAPTER XIV.

MANUFACTORIES, WAREHOUSES, AND MERCANTILE EXHIBITIONS. THE features of interest which characterise the following trading establishments are varied. Some are worth a visit for their magnitude: others for their decorative style and architecture; while the larger portion offer the greater attraction of artistic merit in their exhibition.

Those marked Mare exclusively manufactories, and are only to be viewed by permission.

Those marked W are wholesale warehouses, and are likewise to be viewed by permission; they are only supposed to be open to retail traders who are supplied from that source. There is, however, no difficulty whatever in this matter; and any person politely requesting to walk through the premises, will be courteously received, and shown over the establishment at once.

Those marked R are retail warehouses, and are considered open to the public. Yet when strangers go, (as many of our readers will), merely to see, and not to purchase, it will be most proper to make the same request as at the wholesale warehouses.

Those marked M and Rare manufactories, with exhibition rooms attached, and are as easily seen as the retail warehouses.*

The stranger may depend upon the correctness of the description contained in this chapter, and that the establishments named are worthy of inspection.

In furnishing these notices, the Editor has carefully avoided the evil commonly called puffing, and has unhesitatingly refused to insert in these columns anything in the shape of an advertisement or improperly laudatory remarks. The Editor also feels it due to himself to state, that he has made an unbiassed selection of the Establishments of the Metropolis, and in no one instance has received, directly or indirectly, any remuneration for these insertions. There are doubtless many omissions; and any manufacturer or tradesman who believes that his premises should have been noticed, is requested to communicate with the Editor, who will immediately send some one to inspect the Establishment, and, if worthy of a place in these pages, it will be inserted in the next Edition.
