This Is a combination of capitalists to supply the 
consumers of Teas throughout the United States on 
the mutual principle. 
We have experienced agents in all the best dis¬ 
tricts of China and Japan to select Teas especially 
for our trade. 
We expect every consumer of Teas o render us all 
the assistance they can in carrying out our enter¬ 
prise. as we make a specialty of SUPPLYING CON¬ 
SUMERS ONI,Y (and allow no middlemen to make 
any profit on our Importations), wntch will enable 
us to supply them with Teas at prices lower than 
have ever been known, and of those lino qualities 
thtt seldom reach the Interior, being sold only to 
the large cities and among the very wealthy. 
Hoping the consumer will tnke an interest in our 
enterprise, and send at once for a circular with full 
explanations of how to proceed to obtain our goods, 
we remain, 
Most respectfully yours,
