AMERICAN FRIENDLY ASSOCIATION FOR IRISH EMIGRANTS,
             No.9, DONEGALL SQUARE, NORTH, BELFAST.

ALL PERSONS THINKING OF EMIGRATING to the United
States of America would do well to call on the Agents
of this Association prior to making their final
arrangements, who will give them such information
(if adhered to) as will prevent them from being
IMPOSED upon and SWINDLED by "Emigrant Agents,"
"Runners," and "Lodging House Keepers," and who will
see that they are safely placed in charge of a
Minister of the Gospel, of their own denomination,
who will look after their best interests.
 WE MAKE NO CHARGE.  All necessary information and
directions given gratis, the whole expenses being
defrayed by a few noble hearted gentlemen in New
York, who wept as they beheld the miseries brought
on thousands of Irish Emigrants, annually, through
lack of proper directions and care.
 Emigrants must send or bring a Letter of Character
from their Minister, or some responsible person,
before we can take them under our care.

                                          JOHN COOK, Agent,
                        9 Donegall square North, Belfast.
