TEA COMPANY 
ALWAYS 
A WHOLESALE ESTABLISHMENT. 
tVe have many cnquirie.s (10 to 20 letters a day) asking 
v\'hat discount we make to tlie Trade from our prices as 
publislied in tlie Price List. Tliese are our lowest 
wholesale prices. We consider ourselves only a Wholesale 
Corporation, and we liave but one price. 
Tlie way in wliich we came to break packages at all, was 
that during the high prices of Teas we furnished parties 
with packages as small as five pounds. Our fame spread 
far and wide; and parties with small means thought it very 
hard to be compelled to pay, elsewhere, about a dollar per 
pound more than we were selling the same goods for, simply 
because they could not afford to buy five pounds of ns at 
one time. Therefore, in order to lighten these burdens, we 
consented to supply their wants in quantities as small as 
one pound at the wholesale prices. 
Parlies of small means wishing for goods to sell, can have 
their orders put up In small packages to suit their trade, but 
we cannot make any reduction in price, as our profits for 
the last six years have not averaged more than two cents 
per iiound. 
To give our readers an idea of the profits which have 
been made in the Tea trade, we will start with the Ameri¬ 
can houses, leaviifg out of the account entirely the profits 
of the Cliinese factors. 
1st.—The American House in China or Japan makes large 
profits on their sales or sliipments—and some of the richest 
retired merchants in this country have made their immense 
fortunes through their houses in China.

P. S.—All towns, villages, or manufactories, where a large 
number of men are engaged, by CLunniNO together, can re¬ 
duce the cost Of their Teas and Coffees about one-third by 
sending directly to the 
GEtE-ATT ABIEKICAN TEA COMPANA% 
31 and 33 Vesey-street, corner of Church. 
Post-Office Box, 5,6i3 New-York City. 
We c.all special notice to the fact that our Yescy 
Street Store is at No. 31 and S') Vesey Street, corner of 
Cliurch Street—to-pc double store. 
Parties looking for our store will please bear in mind that 
ours is a large double Store, Kos. 31 and 33 Veseg Street, 
corner of Church-street. Tliis is an important fact to be re¬ 
membered, as there are many other Tea Stores in Vesey St. 
fflealtla TfIjeI. 
2d.—The Banker makes large profits upon the foreign 
c.xchangc used in the purchase of Teas. 
3d.—The Importer makes a profit of 39 to 50 per cent, in 
many cases. 
4tli.—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 tlie Wholesale Tea Dealer 
In lines at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. 
Cth.—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.—The Wholesale Grocer sells it to the Retail Dealer 
at a profit of 15 to 25 per cent. 
Sth —The P,et.ailer sells it to the consumer for all the profit 
he can get. 
When you have added to these eight profits ns many 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, and 
add the original cost of the tea, it will be perceived what 
the consumer has to pa)'. And now we propose to show 
why we can sell so very much lower than small dealers. 
We propose to-do aw.ay with all these various profits and 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, with 
the exception of a small commission paid for purchasing to 
our correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and 
a small profit to ourselvcs—which, on our large sales, will 
amply pay us. 
Parties getting their Teas from us may confidently rely 
upon getting tliem pure and fresli, ns tliey come direct from 
the Custom House Stores to our warehouses. 
The Company have selected 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 New York, .as the List of prices will 
show. 
All goods sold are warranted to give satisfaction.
