THE 
I 
TEA COMPANY 
RECEIVE THEIR 
TEAS BY THE CARGO 
FROM THE 
BEST TEA DISTRICTS 
of 
CHINA and JAPAN, 
anil sell them In quantities to suit cnstomers 
A.T C>VKOO PRICES. 
To give our renders an idea of the profits which have been 
made in the Tea trade, we will start with the American 
houses, leaving out of the account entirely the profits of 
the Chinese factors. 
1st..— The American house in China or Japan makes large 
profits on their sales or shipments— anil some of the richest 
retired merchants in the country have made their immense 
fortunes through their houses in China. 
2d.— The Banker makes large profits upon the foreign 
exchange used in the purchase of Teas. 
3d.— The Importer makes a profit of 30 to 50 per cent in 
many cases. 
4th.— On its arrival here it is sold by the cargo, and the 
Purchaser sells it to the Speculator iu invoices of 1,000 to 
2,000 packages, at an average profit of about 10 per cent. 
5th.— The Speculator sells it to the "Wholesale Tea Dealer 
in lines at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. 
6th.— The Wholesale Tea Dealer sells it to the "Wholesale 
Grocer in lots to suit his trade, at a profit of about 10 per 
cent. 
7th.— The Wholesale Grocer sells it to the Retail Dealer at 
a profit of 15 to 25 per cent. 
Sth.— The Retailer sells it to the Consumer for all tiie 
mOFlT HE CVN GET. 
When you have added to these eight profits as many- 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, and 
add the original cost of the Tea, It will be perceived what 
the consumer has to pay. And now we propose to show why 
we can sell so very much lower than other dealers. 
"We propose to do away with all these various profits and 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, with 
the exception of a small commission paid for purchasing to 
our correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and a 
small profit to ourselves— which, on our large sales, will 
amply hay us. 
By our system of supplying Clubs throughout the country, 
consumers in all parts of the United States can receive their 
Teas at the same price (with the small additional expense 
of transportation), as though they bought them at our 
warehouses in this city. 
For manner of getting up Clubs, see former advertisement 
In this paper. 
Parties sending Club or other orders for less than thirty 
dollars had better send a Post-office draft 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.'* 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the Club. Onr prbflts arc small, but we will 
be as liberal as we can afford. We send no complimentary 
packages for Clubs less than $30. 
Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely npon 
getting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the 
Custom House stores to our "Warehouses. 
We warrant all the goods we sell to give entire satisfac- 
tion. If they are not satisfactory, they can be returned at 
our expense within 30 days, and have the money refunded. 
The Company have selected the following kinds from their 
stock, winch they recommend to meet the wants of clubs. 
They arc sold at cargo prices, the same as the Company sell 
them in New York, as the list of prices will show.

NOTICE OF THE PRESS. 
From the American Agriculturist. 
Tite Ghea.t African Tea COMPANY— To Queries.— 
Before admitting their advertisement, we learned that a 
large number of our clerks and others had for several mouths 
been buying their Tea and Coffee from this Company, with- 
out its being known who they were, and that they had been 
highly pleased with their purchases, both as to quality and 
price, and were all recommending their friends to the same 
course. As we have published the advertisement for many 
months, and received no complaints, we conclude "there is 
no humbug about the establishment.' 1

Gents— Above I send my fourth order. Tonr Teas have 
given good satisfaction, and those who have used them will 
have no other, lint induce their friends to send also. To 
prove this; I had made up my order and got a Post-Office 
Money Order, when others came in and nearly doubled the 
amount, as you will see by second money order, both of 
which I enclose. 
The last order came safely to hand by Merchants' Uniou 
Express. Accept thanks for complimentary package. 
Very respectfully, 
S. LANPHEAR. 
Caution.— As some concerns, In this city and other 
places, imitate our name and style of advertising and doing 
business, it is important that our friends should be very 
careful to write our address in full, and also to put on the 
number of our Post-Oflice Box, as appears in thisadvertise- 
ment. This will prevent their orders from getting into 
the hands of these bogus imitators.

LlPPIXCOTT & BaKF.WELL— 
November 2, 1868. 
Dear Sirs :— I received your second Red Jacket Axe per 
express, and now acknowledge the same. For the benefit 
ol all whose desires or necessities make It their business to 
chop with an axe, I would say: Try the Red Jacket ; and, 
as the Supreme Court have held thataDoctor'sopinion Willi- 
out Ins reasons is ol little value, I will give my reasons: 
first— The Red Jacket cuts deeper than the common bit. 
Second— It being round on the cut, it does not stick in the 
wood. TMrd— Every chopper with the common axe must 
discover that there is as much labor and strength expended 
in taking the axe out of the cut as in making the blow. 
Fmirth— This witli the Red Jacket is all avoided, and from 
one-third to one-hair the labor is saved in cutting the same 
quantity. Fifth— By putting in the same labor that is neces- 
sary with a common axe, you can easily make at least 
thirty-three per cent more wood in the same time. You 
are safe in letting any honest man try your Red Jacket on 
these tests, and if it fails, refund him his money. 
Respectfully, yours, 
HARRY BALDWIN.
