Excerpt from The Artistic Designs and Engravings in This Society Were Executed by Mr. John Dempsey of Messrs. Dempsey Carroll

"Custom makes laws." The laws of refined society are positive in their enforcement. "Ancestry," "Education," and "knowledge of social customs" are the passports to desirable society.

"Our business" is a necessity to society people; "Engraving" and "Stationery Embellishment" rank among the "polite arts."

The magnitude to which our business has grown, in so short a space-of time, is unprecedented! To whom are we indebted? We acknowledge, with thanks, to our "lady patrons" and their "personal recommendations" of us to their friends.

"Courtesy," "excellence of material" and work, with just prices, characterise our establishment; "unlike other stationers," we execute our own work, on our own premises, - having the largest establishment in this city devoted entirely to "fine work in Art Stationery."

"The publication of this work" was suggested to us by the often repeated question, as "quoted above" - and is issued as an "acknowledgment of our appreciation" for favors received from our patrons.
