31 and 33 Vesey Street, New York. 
Gentlemen .-—Business, and a -want of opportunity, have 
for the last eight months prevented me sending, or rather 
attending to onr monthly club, whose orders 1 sent you 
regularly for about a year previous. Since that time many 
Indeed have been the solicitations by many of the members, 
that I should once again commence and send club orders— 
for, as some declared, they had got no Tea, no matter what 
the price paid, since I quit sending the club orders. I have, 
therefore, at the urgent request of a few, resolved to send 
yon a small order monthly, and as a beginning send you 
the following:

Address to John James, Braidwood, Will County, Illinois, 
—per Merchants' Express— to be collected on delivery ; and 
oblige Yours respectfully, JOHN JAMES. 
Parties sending club or other orders for less than $30 had 
better send a Post-office draft or money with their orders, 
to save the expense of collections by Express, but larger or- 
ders we will forward by express, "to collect on delivery." 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the club. Our profits arc small, but wc 
will be as liberal as we can afford. We send no compli- 
mentary packages for clubs of less than $30. 
Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely upon 
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 lie returned at 
our expense within thirty days, and have the money re- 
funded. 
N. B.— Inhabitants of villages and towns where a large 
number reside, by clubbing together, can reduce the 
cost of their Teas and Coffees about one-third, (be- 
sides the Express charges) by sending directly to 
" The Great American Tea Company.'''' 
BEWARE of all concerns that advertise themselves as 
branches of our Establishment, or copy our name 
either wholly or in part, as they are bogus or imita- 
tions. We do not, in any case, authorize the tise of 
our name. 
POST-OFFICE orders and Drafts, make payable to the 
order of " The Great American Tea Company."

GRAPES, 
Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackber- 
ries, Gooseberries, Currants, etc. 
Our Vines and Plants are in great demand, and give gen- 
eral satisfaction, because they are grown on the right kind 
of soil with the greatest care, and so handled as to insure 
their well doing. 
We guarantee our prices to be as low as a gextine article 
of the same quality can be had anywhere. 
More failures in Small Fruit culture arise from the plant- 
ing of inferior stock, because it is low-priced, than from any 
other cause.

PnrcE List for spring of 1S70, for which send 10 cents.

York Tribune says that while hundreds of bushels ot other 
kinds were being thrown into tiie Docks in that (Sty, our 
berries ot this variety were selling on Broadway, for 50 cts. 
per quart, after a carriage of 400 miles.
