Full text

To MERCHANTS, SETTLERS, AND OTHERS,
WHO GIVE, PAY, OR RECEIVE
ORDERS FOR MONEY.

THOMAS HAM respectfully informs all persons who are in the habit of Giving or Paying Orders for Money, that he continues to engrave and print Order Forms by a method entirely his own, which renders FORGERY impossible, each plate being engraved in a different manner, and by a process that cannot be imitated with success.

Thomas Ham also calls attention to the Fact, that although he has engraved plates by this process for some of the leading Merchants and Settlers in this and the neighboring Colonies supplying them with Order Forms to the amount in the aggregate of several hundreds of thousands - not one single case of Forgery has occurred.

Engraving Plate . . 40s.
Order Forms per 100, 5s.

THOMAS HAM,
Engraver und Lithographer,
Collins-street,
Melbourne.
