"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. 
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 (wilh the small additional expense 
of transportation), as though they bought tliem at our ware- 
houses ill this city. 
Some parties inquire of us how they shall proceed to get 
up a club. The answer is simply this: I-et each person 
wishing to join in a club, say how much tea or coffee he 
wants, and select the kind and price from our Price List, as 
published in the paper or in our circulars. Write the names, 
kinds, and amounts plainly ou a list, and when the club is 
complete, send it to us by mail, and we will put each party's 
goods in separate packages, and mark the name upon them, 
with the cost, so there need be no confusion in their distri- 
bution— onch party getting exactly what he orders, and no 
more. The cost of transportation, the members of the club 
can Sivide equitably among themselves. 
The funds to pay for the goods ordered can be sent by 
drafts on New York, by Post-Office money orders," or by 
Express, as may suit the convenience of the club. Or, if the 
amount ordered exceeds_f 30, we will, if desired, send the 
goods by Express, to "collect on delivery." 
Hereafter, we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the Club. Our refits are small, but we will 
be as liberal as we can afford. "We send no complimentary 
package for a Club less than $30. 
IV. B.— All villages and towns where a large 
nirnihcr reside, by Clubbing together, can re- 
duce the cost of their Teas and Coffees about 
one-third (beside 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 imitations. "We 
have no branches, and do not, in any case, authorize the 
use of our name. 
Post-Office orders and Drafts, make payable to the order 
of "Great American Tea Company." Direct letters and

TO 
The Young and Middle Aged Men of the Country. 
THEIR START IN LIFE AND THE WORK BEFORE THEM. 
Stirt in Iiifc.— To get a start in life has perplexed %\e young men of every age. How can I obtain a foothold? 
"What shall I do ? "Where Bhall I go ? have been problems not easily solved. These obstacles no longer exist. 
An Opportunity.— To the many young men of the country starting in life or seeking successful, honorable employ- 
ment, and to the middle aged men living by small wages and desiring to better their situations by engaging in active, suc- 
cessful business, I offer (at my Institution at Ponghkeepsie, N. T., on the Hudson.) better advantages, at a more reasonable 
expense than was ever before presented to the people of this country, and guarantee situations in first class business houses, 
to graduates of merit, who desire assistance. 
Farmers and Planters.— My course for Fabmers as well as mekchahts, and for those from the plantations and 
manufactories, is the best in the world, it being the shortest, the host practical, and the most reasonable. 
I refer not only to the two hundred distinguished citizens who have just presented me with a complimentary testimonial 
expressing their appreciation of my services in founding this Institution and introducing practical instruction, and patrons 
in every State, but to more than Two Thotjsand Graduates, who owe their success as Merchants, Bankers, Clerks and 
Business Men, to the situations obtained for them on the completion of their course here. 
Work Ahead I Men "Wanted !— The nation, in its new Etart in wonderful, unprecedented prosperity, calls for 
new men of practical skill, and great business gifts. They are wanted everywhere. The country is full of money waiting 
for practical talent to use it. The avenues of Commerce, Agriculture, Trade, and Finance are open wider and more inviting 
than ever before. Vast crops are being gathered, and their great money value, amounting to more than four hundred mil- 
lions of dollars last year, will give an activity to trade seldom witnessed in our history. 
This Institution, then, with its common sense course of business training, is a natural necessity. 
The West and Sonth.— The closing of the "Western College at Chicago and its removal here is increasing largely 
our number of "Western and South-western students. The expenses here is more than one-third less than at Chicago, and 
this difference in many cases more than pays railroad fare and expenses of the "Western students coming here. Particularly 
is this the opportunity for the young men of the South in this important period of their history. 
Full information and valuable reading matter in College paper, sent free of charge. 
Address the President, H. G. EASTMAN, LL. D., Eastman Business College, 
Poughkeepsie, N. T\, on the Hudson. 
Note.— The regular Fall exercises, celebrating the fourteenth year of this, the oldest Commercial Institution in this coun- 
try, will take place Tuesday and Wednesdaj', Sept. 17th and 18th. Hon. Horace Greeley, Hon. Mark D. "Wilber, Rev. Samuel 
D. Burchard and others will address the College on that occasion. - 
Gov. Fenton and staff, Gen. "Woodford, Hon. Lewis L. Parsons, of Alabama, and other distinguished gentlemen have been 
invited to be present. 
This occasion will afford to those who desire to enter the College at that time or thereafter, an opportunity of witnessing 
the practical workings of the Institution. This invitation is extended to any Toung and Middle Aged Men who desire to 
educate themselves at a small cost for better positions in life, that they may inform themselves by a personal examination 
of the superior facilities this College presents over other Commercial Institutions.

tional Metropolis of the country.

PERRT'S GRAFE VINES 
are worthy of every Planter's and Dealer's particular atten- 
tion. By the use of my improvement in rooting and trans- 
ferring vines to the open ground without In the least 
checki?ig their growth, or disturbing the roots or soil in 
which that they are growing, enables me to keep far ahead 
of all others in the production of vines best suited for future 
vigorous growth and productiveness. 
Notice the few extracts from letters received from my 
patrons. See Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue for a 
number of pages of the same character ; these are given to 
show those unacquainted with my vines, their real superi- 
ority over those grown in the ordinary way. 
From Dr. S. Parker, Ithaca, N. T., April 4, 1S67. 
" I have had vines from a dozen different propagators of 
late, but none equal yours. When I saw your propagation 
last season I was convinced that yours was the true way to 
propagate." 
From "W. L. Stroud, Oshkosh, "Wis-, April 19, 1867. 
"I must say that I am not only satisfied but delighted with 
your vines. My conclusion is that yoxi are the man to buy 
vines of if one wants his money's worth." 
From E. A. Thompson, Cincinnati, O., Mav 13. 1S67. 
"The Diana are fine vines ; Rogers' first-rate; louas tbe 
best roots I have ever seen." 
From A. T. Silsbee, "Watklns, N. Y„ April 20, 1S67. 
"Tour vines arc splendid and more than answer my ex- 
pectations." 
From I. S. Horton, Council Bluff, Iowa", April 10, 1S67. 
"I never saw better rooted vines. The Club were all sat- 
isfied. Shall send you a much larger order in the fall." 
From H.llomrhton, "West TSoylston, Mass* April 12, 1S67. 
"I like the appearance of your vines very much." 
From I. B. Kanffman, Stratsbnr<r, Pa., April 13, 1S67. 
" I must say your vines are greatly superior to those sent 
me by * * * * * * Those marked extra for the garden 
are really splestdid." 
From "W. R. "White, "Wheeling, "W. Ya., April 10, 1867. 
"The roots of your vines are wonderfully developed and 
of remarkable excellence. 
I have a class of vines two and three years old that will 
fruit next season, if planted this fall, and from which the* 
best results may be expected. The number of this class 
is limited, and for the garden of the most desirable charac- 
ter. Although mv vines come in direct competition with an 
immense stock o'f Hot-bed or Glass-frame grown vines, I 
propose to sell at as low prices as are advertised in the col- 
umns of this paper. 
I can furnish twenty thousand very fine Standard and 
Dwarf Pear Trees, two, three, and four years old. 
10.000 Clarice Raspberry (True).— The best hardy 
Raspberry yet introduced. I can furnish splendid plants 
that will 'give a good crop next season, at the advertised 
price of others.

Ives' Seedling, but principally consists of

The performance" of the lona and Israella generally 
throughout all of the vine-region of the country, leave? no 
doubt in the minds of those best informed tjuit upon tU-su 
now rests chiefly the prospect of the eminent success of. 
grape culture in America. 
My stock of these kinds is very large, and of surpassing 
quality. My uueqnaled facilities and the result of the past 
years warrant the belief that I can make more advan- 
tageous terms to buyers than can be done by any other 
propagator. Price List sent on application with stamp.
