GREAT AMERICAN 
TEA tlOMPAM. 
'ilic Propriutoi's becftiue fully conviDccJ, suvenil yuani

many and too lurjre prolits on these articles of every day 
consumptinii, and tlierufore organized Tue Great Asief.i- 
CAN Tea Cojipaxt, to do away, as far as possible, wIUi these 
moniious drains upon the Consumers, flud to supply tliem 
witli these necessaries at the emallcst possible price. 
To give our readers an idea of the profits which have 
b^pu made in the Tea trade, we will start with the Amcri- 
f^n houses, leaving out of the account entii'clythe profits 
of the Chinese factors. 
l3t.~Thc American House in China or Japan makes large 
profits on their sales or shipments— and some of the riche&t 
retired merchants in tliis country liavc made their immense 
fortunes through their houses in China. 
2d,— The Banker makes large profits upon the foreign 
exclianfre used In the purchase of Teas. 
Sd.— The Importer makes a profit of 30 to r-O per cent, in 
many cases. 
4lh.— On its arrival here it i» sold Ijy Die cargo, and the 
Turchaser sells It to the Speculator in invoices of 1,000 to 
^,000 packages, at an average profit of about 10 per cent, 
u:h.— The Speculator sells it lo thcWIiolesale Tea Dealer 
In lines at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. : 
< ; r, }\ 
6ti».— The Wholesale Tea Dealer sells it to the Wholesale 
Grocer in lots to suit his trade, at a profit of about 10 per 
cent. 
TthJ— The 'VVholesftlo Grocer sens It to the Retail Dealer 
nt a profit of 15 to 25 per cent. 
Pth —The lictailer sells it to the consumer for all the 2>}'oflt 
le can gcL 
AVhen you liave raided to tliese ei'jht profits as many 
l»'oUcra;?c'S, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, and 
r.dd the original cost of the tea, it will be perceived what 
l^e consmner V.as to pay. And now we propose to show 
wiiy we can sell so very mucli lower than other dealer^i. 
"We propose to do away with all these various profits and 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, with 
the e.xceptlon of a small commission paid for pnrchasiui; lo 
«.iir correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and 
n ■iinall profit to ourselve?— which, on our larc^o sales, will 
anijily pay us. 
P:\vtifs gfttlng their Teas from us may couiidently rely 
upon getting them pure and fl-esh, as they come direct from 
thp Cu<ifom House Stores to our wai-eliouse=. 
The Company hfive selected tho following kinds from

Clubs. They arc sold nt Cargo Prices, Ihe same as th«
