MONEY IMMEDIATELY ADVANCED from £ 3 to £ 1,000 to Professional Gentlemen, Tradesmen, Mechanics, and Householders generally upon Note of Hand, Furniture, Stock and other Security. Repayments to suit Borrowers' convenience. BILLS DISCOUNTED. BILLS DISCOUNTED. BILLS DISCOUNTED. In consequence of the extreme strictness "of our local banks many tradesmen and others find it difficult to get heir bills discounted. We are prepared to discount bills which the banks refuse. Ascertain our terms, and if they do not suit you there will be no harm done. Many people go from one friend to another to borrow a few pounds, meet refusal after refusal, rather than go to Money Lender; they have a horror of the name. If they were only sure they would be dealt fairly with, they would willingly pay for a Loan. The Company guarantee that no unfair advtntage will be taken of borrower^ they can ascertain the terms, and decide whether to borrow or not. As a proof of how borrowers appreciate Mr. Usher's system of business, we may say that last year our business increased nearly fifty per cent. under Mr. Usher's manage- ment and we, during the year, made advances exceeding £ 50,000. These facts speak for themselves. Such a business could not be done in a town the size of Swansea, unless the customers were treated with fairness and con- NO FEES REQUIRED. We do not mislead borrowers by offering to lend upon NOTE OF HAND AT 5 PER CENT. per annum such advertisements are but traps for unwary borrowers five per cent. would not pay oiEce and adver- tising expenses. We candidly admit that we cannot lend at such rates. Apply to one of these five per cent. Adver- tisers, you will be asked to pay a FEE. It is on the FEES most of them live. You may pay the FEE, but never get the advance. Having a LARGE CAPITAL we make a special feature of advancing to TRADESMEN AND OTHERS ON NOTE OF HAND for short periods. We recognise the fact that it «cv wme8 pays a man to borrow £ 50 for a week or two and pay £ 1 or so for the accommodation, to enable him to pay a bill aud his credit. Instances continually come under our notice where parties are being pressed by creditors, vad when an execution is in they have to pay the law and Sheriff's costs, which soon run up to JE10 or JE20. They tken come to us, whereas had they sought our assistance at first, our charges for making the advance would probably aot have been one-third of the law costs they have to pay, besides the saving in worry and disgrace. BANKRUPTS assisted in buying back their estates. Compositions secured at reasonable charges. Applications by letter promptly attended to. Business can be done by correspondence. The strictest privacy guaranteed in any transactions. Borrowers waited upon at their residences or elsewhere by appointments. Office open 9.0 a.m., to 9.0 p.m. NOTE THE ADDRESS:- WM.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TIRDEUNAW AND VELINDRE DIVISION. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— IN response to an invitation which I have had the honour of receiving from a large body of the rate- payers of this District, I have consented to become a Candidate for your suffrages at the forthcoming Election. I am personally known to most of you as one who has for nearly 40 years taken a prominent part in support- ing one of the best Institutions ever established towards advancing and promoting the welfare of the Working Classes in this country, viz.: that of Friendly Societies." As a Member of the Board of Guardians I may state that I attend the Meetings of that body as frequently as possible with a view of alleviating the sufferings of the Widows and Orphans, and all other deserving poor in this populous District. I had no intention of referring to Politics in my Ad- dress, but as I understand that for the purpose of damaging my Candidature, a rumour is in circulation that I have lately changed my political opinions—that is totally unfounded. I am, and always have been. an advanced Radical, and I am strongly in favour of the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church, Free Education, Land Reform, Rating of Royalties, and other Liberal Measures. And should you honour me with a seat at the County Council, I will use my best endeavours to further the interests of the rate- payers in general, and of the Working Men in particular. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, LLEWELYN DAVIES. Bryngelly House, December 4th, 1888. Glamorganshire County Council. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE GOWER DIVISION. IN RESPONSE to the unanimous invitation which I have had the honour to receive from the Liberal Associations of Reynoldstone and Peuclawdd, I now beg to offer myself as a candidate for the representation of your Division on the County Council for G-lamorganshire. My views as an advanced Liberal are, I believe, well knows to most of yos, and 1, therefore, deem it un- necessary for me to say more here than that I will, if elected, seek by every means within my power to promote the interests of those whom I have the honour to represent, and that in the performance of the duties which will devolve upon me, it will be my chief aim and ambition to act in a maimer which will merit their entire confidence and approval. I am, Ladies aad Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, F. CORY YEO. Callenoroft, Newton, near Swansea, November 28th, 1888: L5315 Oounty Council Election, 1889. OYSTERMOUTH DIVISION. To, TaB ELECTORS. DO BE MISLED by anyone who tells- you there will be a reduction of taxation in this County, under the new Local Government Act. Mr. John T. D. Llewelyn (Chairman of the Quarter Sessions), stated at Neath last November, that the additional money secured to this County by the Contributions from the Imperial Exchequer-will, after deducting, the loss of income through the abolition of Turnpike Tolls, not be more than about £13,200 a year, or in other words, NOT 1 id. IN THE £ on the rateable value of the County. Even that small increase in income will not now be realized, in consequence of the withdrawal of the proposed Van and Wheel Tax. I therefore- leave YOU to judge whether you are likely to have your rates reduced or not, by the Local Taxation pro- visions of the New Act.. We shall require a MUCH larger share of Imperial Taxes, and more sweeping FINANCIAL REFORMS must be accomplished,, before we can expect to obtain any reduction of local burdens. MR. GOtfCHEN recently said in the House of Commons:- When the County Councils are in working order ice shall be ready to take couiuscl with t/tcm as to the best meatus of re- enforcing loeal revenues." It will be the duty of the County Councils to impress upon the Government what REFORMS IN LOCAL FINANCE are required, and you may rest assured that the Councils will, if they discharge their duties satisfactorily, be consulted by the Government on other important matters,. and that the influence of the Councils over the deliberations of Parliament, will NOT be limited merely to questions of Local Taxation. Amongst the many important subjects which will have to be dealt with by the County Councils, sooner or later, are the following: — LOCAL TAXATION. The present incidence of. local burdens is anomalous and UNFAIR. I consider that ROYALTIES and FUNDED property should be taxed for local expenditure. OWNERS of Land should also be made to contribute DIRECTLY to the rates. LICENSING LAWS. The County Councils should be constituted the Licensing Authorities for the sale of intoxicating liquors but the PEOPLE in each defined LOCALITY should have a' DIRECT voice in the granting and refusal of licenses, and the regulation of licensed houses in that locality. EDUCATION. I advocate the foundation of TECHNICAL SCHOOLS in. "VVlth the Board Schools. Also the ABOLITION OF SCHOOL FEES. In order to lighten local rates for Educa- «\°r'r^Vr^111H",s'>s> Parliament should be called upon to tIonal purposes, Parliament should be called upon to make MUCH LARGER GRANTS in aid of the expenses of education. r LAJ« D LAWS. w r piar lam in favour of the ENFRANCHISEMENT <■>& HOLDS, and consider that greater facilities TV t to the LABOURING classes to acquire the FREB^OLD of small ALLOTMENTS. Distress for non;^LrSTTFrl le TITHE RENT-CHARGE should also be ABOLISHED, and the OWNERS of land should be made to pay mat tax and IfOT the occupiers. fisheRXES. One of the first duties of the Council 'nh 1 C°unty should be to put in force the provisions of tbe 8BA^ FISHERIES REGULATION ACT, 1888. so, as to PttE&ERYB sea tiih (including oysters), and to I*, ptau a WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION OF IMMATURE ISH as is caused by the fixed NETS IN 8WAN9EA iJa..
