THE 
aREAT AMERICM 
TEA COMPANY 
ALWAYS 
A WHOLESALE ESTABLISHMENT. 
We have many enquiries (10 to 20 letters n day) asliing 
TVliat diSCOnnt-WC Tnimi; lo mtr xnmc nuiu wm iiiiw^i' ■'•" 
publlshca in the Price List. These are onr loweil 
v-holvtale. prion. We consider onrselves only a Wholesale 
Corporation, and we have but one price. 
The way In which we oame to l>veal; pacl;a?e5 at all. was 
tliat rtnrliiK tlie high prices of Teas we furnished parties 
■witli pnckascs as small as five pounds. Our fame spread 
far and wide : and parties with small means thoUKht It very 
hard to Ije compelled to pay, elsewhere, about :i dollar per 
pound more than we wore selling; the same goods for, simply 
because they could not afford to buy five pounds of us at 
one time. Therefore, in order to lijhten these burdens, we 
consented to supply their wants iu quantities as small as 
one pound at the wholesale prices. 
Parties of small means wishiui for goods to sell, can have 
their orders put up In small packages to suit their trade, lint 
we cannot make any reduction In price, as our profits for 
the last six years Iiave not averaged more than two cents 
per pound 
To give onr readers an idea of the profits wliich have 
been made in the Tea trade, we will start with the Ameri- 
can houses, leaving out of tlie account entirely the profits 
of the Chinese factors. 
1st.— The American House In China or .Tapan makes large 
proHts on their sales or shipments— and some of the richest 
retired merchants in tiiis co\mtry have made their Immense 
fortunes tlu-ough tlirir houses In China. 
2d.— The Banliev makes large prottts upon the foreign 
exchange used In the purchase of Teas. 
S(i,— The Impoi-tor nioKcs a luont "I 31 lu r.o jifr i-cnt. In 
many cases. 
4th.— On Its anival here It Is sold by the cargo, and the 
Purchaser sells it to tlio Speculator In Invoices of 1,000 to 
2,000 packages, at an average profit of about 10 per cent. 
5th.— The Speculator sells It to tlic Wliolesale Tea Dealer 
m lines at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. 
6th.— The 'Wholesale Tea Dealer sells It to the Wholesale 
Grocer iu lots to suit his trade, at a profit of about 10 per 
cent. 
7th.-The Wholesale Grocer sells it to the p.etail Dealer 
nt a profit of 15 to 85 per cent. 
8th —The iletailer sells it to the consumer for nU the profit 
he can get. 
When you have added to these eight profits as many 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, and 
ndd the original cost of tlie tea, It will bo perceived what 
tlie consumer has to pay. And now we propose to show 
why we can sell so very mucli lower than small \dealers. 
We propose to do away with all these various' profits and 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, with 
the exception of a small commission paid for purchasing to 
onr correspondents In China and Japan, one cartage, and 
n small profit to ourselves- whieli, on our large sales, will 
amply pay us. 
Parties getting their Teas from us may confidently rely 
upon getting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from 
the Cnstom House Stores to our warehouses.

The Scientific American 
To Be Enlarged for 1867. 
This widely circulated and popular Journal of tlie Indus- 
trial Arts and Sciences, enters its 3'3d year on the 1st of 
January next, and the Publishers propose to si-^naliz-r the 
occasion by enlarging it to the size of sonic of the most 
costly Scientific Jotirnalsof Great Britain, 7r////o»(. hoirever, 
increasing the subscrijMon jjricc. It is almost siiperflnous 
to speak of the prcat value of tlds popular avl useful jour- 
nal, to all classes; and especially to Mechanic*. Rfannfactni-- 
crs, Inventors. Engineers, Clicmist?, Agriculturists, and all 
■who love to read of the wondrous progress wliicli now marks 
every department of Mechanical Engineering, and the Indus- 
trial Arts and Sciences generally. Tlie Editorial 'Depart- 
ment is very ably conducted, and many of the best spientinc 
writers in this country and Europe, arc contributors to its 
pages. Many of the articles have the charm of romance 
about them, and Inspire the mind with noble ideas. The 
wonder is that so good a journal in every sense, has not a 
half million readers iu this tlirivin;; land. Its circulatmn, 
however, is very large in all parts of the world. 
The En-ravinss of KEW INVENTIOXS. TOOLS, IMPLE-

are very numerous and splendidly executed by the bc^t

ing and has won the praise of the united press of this coun-
