WILLIAM CROGGON and Co. have the honour to acquaint the Nobility, Gentry, Architects, and others, that having purchased the entire property in this Concern, the business will be continued by them on the same plan, and the same competent Artists and Assistants have for period of above half a century been sanctioned by the most distinguished patronage.
