Gray's Inn Wine Establishment.

GRAY'S INN WINE ESTABLISHMENT .

& tgl ) holborn , " 3 Loiv 0 on .

A Sketch if Part of tjus Vaults of the Gray ' s Inn Wine Eitabluhment . THERE is , perhaps , in this immense Capital , no single example in which the sp irit of Enterprise lias bren more amply rewarded , than in the GRAY'S INN WINE AND SPIRIT ESTABLISHMENT . The principles on which it started were Liberality and Integrity ; ' they have heen constantly adhered to ; and the exertions of the .-Proprietors have been rewarded with a Patronage . much beyond any known precedent , and-very far beyond their most sanguine expectations . The encouragement they have met with lias probably arisen from their having heen less prodigal in promises , and more anxious to fulfil such as were made , than is usual in such cases . They did not attempt to create an empty reputation by tiie depreciation of similar liousesnor hold out exclusive advantages but such as the common sense of every one feels must

, any ensue , when experience , zeal , and capital are combined : they held out no pledges to the Public which could not be performed , or made a single promise which has not been faithfully kept . .... The Advantages offered to the Public are not numerous ) but they are most important . In every concern where capital is hirgelv embarked , and at all skilfully managed , a saving must . accrue : the . capitalist commands the market , and purchases fall into his hands which enable him to re-sell , to . the consumer , at a price which the smaller dealer is unable to do . In addition to this , in this establishment , every article is subject to the most strict examination : everv purchaser may judge for himself from the bona fide stock ; and , if he sees fit , have the article , sent away in his presence . In this case nothing will be exchanged ; hut , in every instance where orders be forwardedand the faith of the Proprietors relied onshould the article be not approvedit may be sent

may , , , back , free of any-and every expense , and the . money will be returned to the last farthing . The advantages to Co mtvy Consumers must be here obvious , as , by a remittance , they may . be immediately supplied with Wines or Spirits . ' of a quality to be depended on , and at the Lowest Price the London market can afford ; it being one of the objects of this establishment to supply the Public with Wines . Src , of a sound and invigorating quality , equally useful ( with that of a higher description ) for schools , hospitals , and charitable purposes , at a price nearly as low as the trash daily offered to it .

The very exulted " aiid universal patronage extended to that singular and splendid liqueur , * ' Liqueur Sherry , ' of which the Proprietors are the original and only importers , have induced them to direct their attention to the highest class of Wines produced in Xeres ; and , regardless of expense , ' arrangements have been made and filtered into with some of the first houses in Spain , for the finest and oldest Sherries shipped to this country Verv considerable importations , in butts , hogsheads , and quarter-casks , have been landed by this establishment within the last few months , and are submitted to the Public at the lowest remunerating price . Rota Tent , ( the original Sacramental Wine , " ) which had almost fallen into . dvsuse from ; the substitution of an article of British . manufacture , lias , since . the importations of a superior . and genuine Wine , by this establishment , resumed its occupation in the chalice for devotional purposes , there being few churclies in . the Metropolis but are lied from this source . Thiswith a pure Pale Bvandyof a most scarce description *

supp , _ , have established a" reputation with the Public beyond all former precedent . DUTCH LIQUEURS . From the great difficulty in obtaining these justly-celebrated Liqueurs in tht >" genuine state , the Proprietors have been induced to ' enter into arrangements with the first compounders i *< Ilolland , for a regular supply , which can be depended upon as of the very finest , quality . . Also , imported in cases containing twelve bottles , ( two gallons , ) very superior Schiedam Hollands , whieh will bo delivered in the original cases , direct from the Docks . . The BONDED STOCK may be tasted in the Docks ; and any butt , pipe , or hogshead , which may bo selected , will be cleared , on condition that the party selecting engages to take a moderate quantity when bottled . The niost experienced Ccllarmen aro employed by this establishmentfor the removal of Gentlemen ' s Wines

, , from Country to Town , or from Town to Country . The duties on Wines , of every description , arc paid without extra charge . Carted from the Docks into private stock , fined , bottled , and placed away , in the best manner , and at the lowest possible expense . Thc PROPRIETORS , in returning their best Thanks to the Public for the constantly increasing encouragement their exertions have met with , beg to add , that their gratitude will stimulate them still further , if possible , to deserve its entire confidence . 23 _ High Holborn .
