SECRET! 
The great secret of the unparalleled success of THE 
GREAT AMERICAN TEA COMPANY is in the fact that 
their rate of profit is based upon enormous sales with a 
pmall percentage. The extent of business done enables them 
to buy Teas by the cargo, and, by " OUR CLUB SYSTEM," 
as appears below, to sell them at the usual cargo prices, 
tliereby saving from three to live prolits to tlie consumer, 
or about ONE HUNDr.KD PEiz CENT. The retail trade of the 
Company is based upon a Kale of 1,000 chc.<»ts a week, 
'I'hc Company have leased extensive warehouses in the 
most central locations, and fitted them np in a style of mag- 
nillccnce very far surpassing auything ever before known 
in tliis country. It has been tlie aim of the Company to se- 
lect localities that cannot fail to convene all sections of the 
metropolis and surrounding cities. The prices being uni- 
form, customers can select either of our.ator.es uieirtioncd

ments, hla policy is paid up— nothing more to pay. and still his dividends continue, making 
HIS I.IFE POI^ICY, 
A SOURCE OF INCOME TO HIM WHILE LIVING. 
The only wefijhty argument offered a,i!;:iiiist Life Insurance is that a pany might pay in for .1 nnmher of years, and then, 
by inadvertence, inabibty. etc., be unable to continue piiyiug, thereby losnig all Uc had naid. Tlie "NEW Tout Lifk"
