the 
(]REAT AMERICAN 
TEA COMPANY 
HAVE JUST RECEIVED 
TWO FULL CARGOES 
OE THE 
FINEST NEW CEOP TEAS. 
22,000 HALF CHESTS I'y ship OolOen State. 
\ 2,000 HALF CHESTS I)y ship GeorgeShotton. 
In addition to these large cargoes of Black and Japan 
Teas, the Company are constantly receiving large Invoices 
of the finest quality of Green Teas from the Moyune dis¬ 
trict of China, wliioli are unrivaled for fineness and delica¬ 
cy of flavor. ^ 
To give our readers an idea of the profits which have been 
made in the Tea trade, we will start with the American 
houses, leaving ont 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 the'country have'made their immense 
fortunes through their houses in China. 
2d. The Banker makes large" profits upon the foreign cx’ 
change used in the purchase of Teas. 
3d. The Importer makes a profit of 30 to 50 per cent, in 
many cases. ' ' , 
'4tli.-On its arrival liere it is.sold by tlie cargo, and the 
Purchaser sells it to the Speculator in invoices of 1000 to 
2000 packages, at an average profit of about 10 p6r cent. • 
5th. The Speculator sells it to the Wholesale Tea Dealer 
in lines at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent. 
Gth. Tile .Wliolesale Tea Dealer sells it to the Wholesale 
Grocer in lots to suit his trade, at a profit of about 10 per 
cent. ■ . , ' 
Ith. The Wholesale Gvo'cer sells it to the Itetail Dealer at 
a profit of .13 to 25 per cent 
8th. The Retailer sells it to the Consumer for all ths 
PKOPIT HE CAN GET.- 
When.you have added to these eight profits as many 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and "wastes, and 
add the original cost of the Tea, it will be perceived what 
the consumer has to "pay. And now'we propose to show why 
we can sell so very much lower than other dealers. 
We propose to do away with all these -various profits and 
brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and wastes, with 
the exception of a small, commission paid for purchasing to 
onr correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and a 
small profit to ourselves—whicli, on our large sales, 'will 
amply pay us. . . 
By our system of supplying Clubs tliroughout tlie country, 
consumers in all parts of tlie United States can receive their 
Teas at the same nrlce (with the small additional expense 
of transpoi tatioii), as though tliey bouglit them at our ware¬ 
houses in this city. 
Some parties inquire of us how they shall proceed to get 
up a Club. .The answer is simply this; Let each perso.n 
wisliing to Join in a Club, say how much tea or coffee he 
wants, and select tlio kind and price from our Price List, as 
published in the paper or in our circulars. Write the names, 
kinds, and amounts plainly on the list as seen in the Club 
Ordei pnblislied below, and when the Club is complete send 
it to us by mall, and we will put each party’s goods in sep¬ 
arate packages, and mark the name npon them, with the 
cost, so there need be no confusion in their distribution- 
each party getting exactly wliat he orders, and. no more. 
The cost of transportation the members can divide equitably 
among tbemsclves. ' 
Parties sending Clnb or other orders for less than thirty 
dollars had better send Post-office Drafts or money with 
their orders, to save the expense of collections by express • 
dehvmy*^*' forward by express, to collect on 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the Club. Onr profits are small, but we will 
be as libeial as we can afford. We send no complimentary 
package for Clubs less than $30. ^ 
Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely npon 
getting them pure and freslL as they come direct from the 
Custom House stores to our Wareho-ases.

DRAPE VINES at IONA. 
My stock comprises all of the leading kinds, including 
Ives’ Seedling, but principally consists of 
lOM, ISRAELLA and DELAWARE. 
The performance of the Iona and Israella generally 
throughout all of the vine-region of tlie country, leaves no 
doubt in the minds of those best informed, that upon these 
now rests cliiefly the prospect of the eminent success of 
grape culture in America. 
Attention to the record of tlie Iona during the past four 
years will be instructive to all who desire to plant vines for 
any purpose throughout the wliole vine-growing region of 
the country. (See statement of its performance, page 424.) 
My stock of these kinds is very large, and of surpassing 
quality. My unequaled facilities and the result of the past 
years warrant the belief that I can make more advan¬ 
tageous terms to buyers than can be done by any other 
propagator. Price List sent on application with stamp. 
Prices for best vines for Garden or Vineyard, as low as can 
be afforded, and some clioice lots even lower.
