A CARD. 



J. R. Newell would inform his patrons and the public, 

 that he has disposed of all his interest in the Agricultural 

 Wareho'ise. to Joseph Breck & Co. In taking leave of a 

 business he has so long conducted, he desires to express his 

 gratitude to his customers and friends, for their liberal patron- 

 age. As he retires from an employment, which has been so 

 connected with Agriculture, he hopes that, by the improve- 

 ment and inventions of many valuable implements, he has con- 

 tributed, in no small degree, to the advancement and prosper- 

 ity of the agricultural huerests of our country. 



Boston, August 15, 1837.

 sd of J. R. Newell, Est(., Iris extensive stock of Agricultural 

 Implements and Tools, which, with the additions about to be

 country. The Establishments heretofore known as the A^ri- 

 ■ultural Warehouse and New England Seed Store, are now 

 milecl ; and we trust will continue to form one of the most in- 

 eresting places of resort to all who are directly or indirectly, 

 nterested in agriculture. Strang-ers are invited to call and 

 ;xaniine the establishment. We shall be happy to receive for 

 leposit and examination, or for sale, any new and valuable

 ered gratis at the establishment.
