To the G tie at American Tea Company, 
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 at¬ 
tending to our monthly club, whose orders I sent you regu¬ 
larly 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 
you a small order monthly, and as a beginning send you the 
following: 
2 English Ureal 
1% English Ureal 
2 English Breal 
2 Uncolored Ja 
1 Imperial . 
1 Young Hyson 
1 Oolong . 
2 Imperial.

1 English Brea: 
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 $39 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; Our profits are small, but we 
will be as liberal as we can afford. We send no compliment¬ 
ary 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 be 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, 
(besides 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 use of 
our name. 
POST-OFFICE orders and Drafts, make payable to the 
order of “ The Great American Tea Company."

THE 
NEW-YORK TIMES. 
A Political, Literary, and Miscel¬ 
laneous Newspaper. 
The New-York Times,— started in September, 1S51,—has 
for many years been recognized as among the most success¬ 
ful, popular, and influential newspapers in the country. It 
is still under the control and management of its original 
founders, who, with greatly increased resources and experi¬ 
ence, will spare no pains to extend and strengthen its claims 
upon the confidence and support of the public. 
The Times is a Republican journal, and will he devoted, 
as in the past, to an intelligent support of the Republican 
Party-. It will sustain, with all its ability, the principles and 
policy of General Ghaut's administration. It will advo¬ 
cate those measures by which the honor, the peace, and. the 
prosperity, of the nation can he best conserved and pro¬ 
moted. It will vindicate our dignity before foreign nations, 
and will discountenance aught by which our self respect or 
our love for republican institutions could be endangered. 
The Times desires to be judged by-the highest possible 
standard of journalism. Its Editorial Department will 
be conducted in a spirit of fairness and impartiality, free 
alike from personal rancor or undue favoritism; and will 
be the production of the ablest and most experienced wri¬ 
ters upon all the subjects treated. Its Correspondence 
will he full and timely. Its Reports will be prepared with 
the utmost care, and will embrace every fact or public utter¬ 
ance of opinion that possesses interest and importance. 
Tlie Literary Department will he in thoroughly capable 
hands, and will present a full review of the literature, the 
fine arts, the music, and the drama of tlie day. 
The Sunday edition of the Times will include, in addition 
to all the news, selected and original literary matter of the 
most varied and agreeable character. 
The Weekly and Semi-Weekly editions of the Times 
will he compiled with the greatest care, and will contain 
selections from the most important contents of tlie Daily 
issue, besides matters of interest to the agricultural sections 
of the country. AH who prefer a newspaper hut once or 
twice a week will find these editions admirably- suited to 
their requirements. 
A special edition of tlie Times for European circulation 
will be published every Wednesday and Saturday, in time 
for the European mails, and will be valuable and wel¬ 
come to our friends abroad, whether Americans or of any 
other nationality than our own.
