Cut this out and paste it in your Hat!  The Place Where The Best 50 Cent Daguerreotypes In this city are made, is at the Old Established Gallery, 218 River street, Over Dorr’s Clothing Store.

These Rooms have just been refitted and refurnished throughout, and are now open.  The proprietor has just received a large assortment of Plain and Fancy Cases, &c., &c., all of which he will sell with first rate Pictures, as low as at any other Establishment in or out of the city.  A share of patronage is respectfully solicited, and no person will be asked to buy a picture if not perfectly suited.
