Gentlemen .•—Business, and a want of opportunity, have 
for the 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:

Address to John James, Braidwood, Will County, Illinois, 
—per Merchants' Express—to be collected on delivery . and 
oblige Y'ours respectfully, JOHN JAMES. 
Parties sending club or other orders for less than $30 had 
better send a Post-office draft or money with their orders, 
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 
will be as liberal as we can afford. We scud 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 he 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 ami Coffees about one-third, (be¬ 
sides the Express charges) by sending directly to 
“ The Great American Tea Company."

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.

HORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING BREAK 
PREPARATION 
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 theuefore 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 adds nutriment to the bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Each 
package contains full directions for use. Send for pam¬ 
phlet, supplied gratis. Ask vour Grocer for “ Horsford’s 
Bread Preparation." WILSON, LOCKWOOD, EVERETT

SOUTHERN BRANCH. 
The Lands now offered by tliis Company are situated 
mainly within twenty miles on each side of the road, extend¬ 
ing one hundred and seventy miles along the NEOSHO 
VALLEY, the richest, finest, and most inviting valley for 
settlement in the West. 
One-third of the labor required at the East in the culture 
of farms will insure here double the amount of crops. For 
orchards, grape culture, and small fruit in general, it is 
unequaled. 
BUILDING MATERIAL AND FENCING of every vari¬ 
ety and in great abundance. 
STOCK RAISING.—The rich native grasses of the prairies 
and bottoms, with the large area of unoccupied lands in 
connection with the dry, mild, and open winters, present 
unequaled advantages for the raising of cattle, sheep, and 
horses. 
DAIRYING.—In such a country, with ranges for stock un¬ 
restricted, and pasture limitless, the production of butter 
and cheese must be profitable. 
FRUIT GROWING is one of the specialties, as demon¬ 
strated by tile Gold Medal awarded to the State of Kansas 
by the Pennsylvania State Horticultural Society for “a 
collection of fkuits unsurpassed fop. size, beauty, 
AND FLAVOK.” 
THE CLIMATE AND HEALTH of Kansas are uncqual- 
cd. These, indeed, are among its chief excellencies, and are 
recommendations for settlement.

(lO)vears’ time.
