Country Clubs, Hand and Wagon Peddlers, and small 
stores (of which class we are supplying many thousands, all 
of which are doing well), can have their orders promptly and 
faithfully filled; and in case of clubs, can have each party's 
name marked on tlieir packages as directed by sending their 
orders to Nos. 31 and 33 Vesey-st. 
' Our ft'iends are getting up Clubs in most towns throughout 
the country, .and for which we feel very grateful. Some of 
our Clubs send orders weekly, some not so often, while 
others keep a standing order to be supplied with a given 
quantity each week, or at stated periods. And In all cases 
(where a sufficient time has elapsedj Clubs have repeated 
their orders. 
Parties sending Club or other orders for loss than thirty 
dollars, had better send Post-OlHce drafts, or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by express ; 
but larger orders we will foi-ward by express, to collect on 
delivery. 
' We return thanks to parties who have taken an Inter- 
est in getting up Clubs. And when any of them come to 
New York, we shall be pleased to have them call upon us 
and make themselves known. " ' " ' ' 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the CLUB. Our profits are small, but we 
will he as liberal as we can atford.

The package of Tea I ordered of you came safely to hand. 
All are highly pleased with their Teas. Your best Is superi- 
br to what our merchants call their be.'.t, and sell for $2 to 
$■3.50. The Oolong Is far better than what they sell at $1.70. 
Iherowlth send another order amounting to $13!. I could 
send you a much larger one, but many of our farmers are so 
afraid of being humbugged. They say that if you give as 
good satisfaction this time as you did before, they will then 
" go in.'* Send the goods by United States Express, with 
bill for coUeciion. as before. Also bl'd by mall for myself.
