THE 
CHEAT AMERICAN 
TEA COMPANY 
RECEIVE THEIR 
TEAS BY THE CARGO 
FROM THE 
JBESI TEA DISTRICTS 
of 
CHINA and JAPAN, 
and sell them in quantities to suit customers 
AT CARGO iPIfclOES. 
To give our readers an idea oi'tlie profits which have been 
made in the Tea trade, we will start with the American 
houses, leaving out o£ 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—and 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 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 15 per cent. 
6tli.—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.— 1 The Wholesale Grocer sells it to the Retail Dealer at 
a profit of 15 to 25 per cent. 
8th.—The Retailer sells it to the Consumer for all the 
PROFTT HE CAN GET. 
When you have added to these etght profits as many 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, and 
add tlie original cost of the Tea, it will be perceived wliat 
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, witli 
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 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 le^s than thirty 
dollars had better send a Post-oflice 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. Our profits are 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 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 be returned at 
our expense within 30 days, and have the money refunded. 
The Companyhave.seleeted the following kinds from their 
stock, which they, recommend to meet the wants of clubs. 
They are sold at cargo prices, the.same as the Company sell 
them in Hew York, as the list of prices will show.

NOTICE OF THE PRESS. 
From the American Agriculturist. 
The Gee at American Tea Company.—To Queries.— 
Before admitting their advertisement, we learned that a 
large number of our clerks and others had for several months 
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.”

■ Gents—Above I send my fourth order. Your Teas have 
given good satisfaction, and those who have used them will 
have no other, but 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’ Union 
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-Office Box, as appears in this advertise¬ 
ment. This will prevent their orders from getting into 
the hands of these bogus imitators. 
POST-OFFICE orders and Drafts, make payable to the 
order of “ The Great American Tea Company."

H ORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING BREAD prep¬ 
aration makes the most wholesome and best of 
bread, biscuit, cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast, it 
contains no POISON to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread 
may therefore be eaten hot without detriment. Resolving 
itself into Phosphate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICK¬ 
ETS, CHOLERA, and decay of TEETH, and promotes the 
growth of Muscle and Bone. In “raising the dough it 
does not, like other yeast, decompose flour, but adds nutri¬ 
ment to the bread, and otherwise improves it in quality and 
quantity. Each package contains full directions for use.

Lippincott & Bake well— 
Dear Sirs;—I received.your second Red Jacket Axe per 
express, and now acknowledge the same. For the benefit 
ot 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 that a Doctor’s opinion witli- 
"is reasons.is of 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. Third— 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. 
Fourth —This with the Red Jacket is all avoided, and from 
one-third to one-half tlie:labor-is saved in cutting the same 
quantity. Fifih—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 it it fails, refund him his money. 
Respectfully, yours, 
^ HARRY BALDWIN.
