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 tire club. Our profits are small, but we 
will 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 
g etting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the 
ustom 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, (be¬ 
sides tile Express charges) by sending directly to 
“ The Great American Tea Company."

brandies of our Establishment, or copy our name

To the Great American Tea Company, 
31 and S3 Vesey Street, New York. 
Gentlemen:— Business, and a want of opportunity, have 
for tlie last eight months prevented me 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 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:

PREPARATION 
Makes tlie 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 he 
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 oi Muscle 
and Bone. In “ raising ” the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose the flour, but adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions l'or use. Send for pam¬ 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for “ Horsford’s
