Title Circular. Press on, to victory! : The disabled soldier, truly grateful for recent considerations, on short acquaintance, humbly begs to inform the citizens of Philadelphia, and an appreciative public, that he is established at Stand No. 2, near S.W. corner Western Market, on Market Street, between 15th and 16th, where by assiduity and affability he desires to serve ice creams, fruits, pies, cakes, candies, nuts, segars and tobacco, to all consumers. Please respond with increasing patronage to enlarged efforts to please. Wounded but not whipped! Disciplined, yet determined to thrive! Devoted to the public good. / Wm. Constable.
