Country^ Clnbs, Hand and Wagon Peddlers, and small 
stores (of which class we are supplying many thousands, all 
of wliich are doing well), can have their orders promptly and 
faithfully lUled; and in case of clubs, can have each party's 
name marked on their packages as directed by sendiog their 
orders to Nos. 31 and 33 Vcsey-st. 
Our friends .are getting up Clubs in most towns throughout 
the country, and for which we feel very grateful. Some of 
our Clubs send oi-ders weekly, some not so often, while 
others keen a stau-liug order to be supplied with a given 
quantity each week, or at stated periods. And in .all cases 
(where a sufficient time has elapsed) Clubs have repeated 
their orders. 
Parties sending CluU or other orders for less than thirty 
dollars, had better send Post-OfHce drafts, or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by express ; 
but larger orders we will forward by express, to collect on 
delivery. 
AVe 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 np the CLUB, of $30 and over. Our profits 
are small, but we will be as liberal as we can afford.

Oar second packa^re which we sent for, was received all 
right, and has given good satisfaction, and all are highly 
pleased. Many think that they don't keep as good tea in 
Oshkosh, as your lOs. tea's— their $2 is certainly no better. 
I have taken pains to scatter as many of those circulars as 
I. could, and I presume others will get up Clubs and get 
their tea from you. 
Still there are some "knowing ones" left yet who still 
Insist It Is a " Swindle," " Sell," and such like expressions; 
but I think time will convert them, and that they will con- 
sult their pockets before paying $2, $2.50 per pound for tea 
when they can set as good an article of you for ten shillings. 
You may send the CjmpHmentary package in Tea, 
I am Sirs, very respectfully,

crowned its efforts in its endeavors to lighten the burden of 
high prices borne by our laboring people; and also congrat- 
ulate our Club upon its good fortune in procuring these

NOTICE. 
TO YOUNG MEN from the farms— 
MIDDLE-AGED MEN who desire 
to better their condition in Life 
—and to PARENTS who would 
make their Sons soccessfal, nse- 
ful Men. 
I have suggested tlie best Course of Study 
and System of PRACTICAL Training for pre- 
paring Toung and Middle-aged Men for active, 
successful life, ever adopted in this or any 
other countiy. 
My course for Farmers' Sons is the best in the 
world, it being the most useful, the shortest and 
most comprehensive, and within the reach of all. 
Sucli is the popularity of my System of Prac- 
tical, Useful Ednci>tion, that my College at 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., on the Hudson, has be- 
come the largest Educational Institution on the 
Continent — enjoying patronage from all sections 
of our own country. South America, Europe, 
Cuba, Mexico, and the Canadas, and exerting 
more power and influence for Practical, Popu- 
lar Education than all Commercial or Business 
Colleges in this country combined. 
Such was the extended patronage from the 
West, that it became necessary to establish an 
Institution at, Chicago, — under f lie Principalship 
of Prof E. P. East.m.vx, — where this system 
of Eilucation could be enjoyed, and its success 
has no parallel in the history of Schools and 
Colleges, it being to-day the largest Educa- 
tional Institution in the West. 
Young men from the Farms who can devote 
a few months to Study, Men of Middle age who 
desire to change their present employment for 
something more remunpraiive, and others who 
desire lucrative, honoralile situatiijus in busi- 
ness, can enjoy advantages here not to bo 
found elsewhere. 
Parents who desire to educate their sons in 
tk-e best manner, iu tlie, lenM time, and at the 
least expense, for useful, successful men, will 
please investigate the claims of tliis institution. 
Reference is given to tlie best Educators and 
Business Men in the country. 
Graduates are assisted to such situations as 
they merit, through the College Agencies in the 
different cities. References are given to more 
than 200 in Government Depart men ts, and 
more than 400 iu the City of New-York alone, 
who owe their success to this Institution. 
The prescribed Course of Stud}' can be com- 
pleted in three months, at a total expense for 
Tuition and board of from $85 to $100. Tlie 
Institution guarantees the total expense not to 
exceed Due Hundred dollars lor tliree months, 
and receives Students for that sum. Thoso- 
wishing to become memhers will be admitted 
any week day in the year. There are no exam- 
inations at commencement. 
The Illustrated Pajicr of IG pages, giving full 
information of the Course of Study, and the 
Eastman system of Training, is sent free of 
charge to all who desire it. 
Applicants will apply in person or by letter to

NOTE. 
Tlie Pnbllc vritl not confound tliis InsMtntlon with the 
many Riiiall— so-called— •■ Coiniiiercijir' and "Business" 
"Colleses" that liave spmus up lii the different Cities. 
They bear no more comparison to this Institution than a 
common school does 10 Vale Collese. Tliis Institution is 
the fountain of tliein all, and Is e\ertin" more power and In- 
fluence for eood than all combined. Some claim to have 
introduced practical iiiatriictiun on the plan taught here. 
It will be understood that the Eastman Sysum oj PracUcal 
Training, was cranted bv law to this Colleue. throagll 
Patents dated Sent, lilh, lS6i, and Eastman College of Pougll- 
keepsle and Chicago, are the only Commercial Institutions 
in thiscountrv that conduct their operations practwalli/. It 
is also the only Business Instituilon that has a regular sys- 
tem of Agencies, to procure situations for Graduates.
