THE 
mm 
TEA COMPANY 
RECEIVE THEIR 
TEAS BY THE CARGO 
FROM TIIE 
HEST TEA DISTRICTS 
of 
CHINA and JAPAN, 
and sell them in quantities to suit customers 
A.X CA.KOO PRICES. 
To give our readers an idea of the- profits which have been 
made in tlie Ten trade, wewUl start with the American 
i », leaving out of the account entirely the profits of 
the Chinese factors. 
1st.— Tii' 1 American honse In Chinaor Japan makes larce 
profits mi their sales Or shipments— ami some of the richest 
retired merchants In the country have made their immense 
fortunes through their houses In China. 
yd.— The Banker makes large profits upon Die foreign 
exchange used In the purchase of Teas. 
8d.— The [raporter makes a profit of so to DO per cent Jn 
many I I 
4th. -On its arrival hero It Is sold by the cargo, and the 
I'lirchasi.-r sells it to the 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 the Wholesale Tea Dealer 
In lines at a profit of 10 to IS per cent. 
6th.— The Wholesale Tea Dealer Bella 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 Denier .it 
n profit of IS to 25 per cent. 
8th.— The Retailer sells It to the Consumer for all titr 
PROFIT UK CAN OKT. 
When you have added to these eigtit profits a3 many 
brokerages, cartages, BtorageSi cooperages and wastes, and 
add the original cost o! the Tea, It will he perceived what 
the consumer lias 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 pay us. 
By "in- system of supplying Clubs throughout the country, 
consumers In all parts of the United states can receive their 
Teas nt the same price (with the small additional expense 
of transportation), n3 though they bought them at our 
warehouses in tills City. 
Tor manner of getting up Clubs, sec former advertisement 
in this paper. 
Parties sending Club pr other orders for less than thirty 
dollars had better Bend a Post-office draft or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by Kxpress, 
Put larger orders wo will forward by express, " to collect 
mi delivery." 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the Club. Our profits arc small, but we will 
be as libera] as wo can afford. We send no complimentary 
pack igce tor Clubs loss than $30. 
Parties getting their Teas ol us may confidently rely upon 
getting them pure and fTesh, as they come direct from the 
Custom House stores to our Warehouses, 
We warrant nil thee: Is we sell to give entire aatlafae* 
tlon, If'thcy arenoi satisfactory, they can be returned al 
our expense within 80 days, and have the money refunded. 
The Comnnnyliave Belected the following kinds from their 
stock, which they recommend to meel the wants of clubs. 
They are sold al cargo prices, the aaine as the Company sell 
them in New York, as the list ot prices Will show.
