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 are small, but we 
wiil 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 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 tlieir 'leas 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 use of 
our name.

HORSFORB’S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of buead, biscuit, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast, it contains no POISON 
to create DY'SPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos¬ 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICKETS, CHOLERA 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes the growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In “ raising ” the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose the flour, but add's nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Eacli 
package contains full directions for use. Send for pam¬ 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for “ Horsford’s 
Bread Preparation.” WILSON, LOCKWOOD, EVERETT

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