the assistance they can In carrying out our enter¬ 
prise, as wo make a specialty of SUPPLYING CON¬ 
SUMERS ONLY (aud allow no middlemen to make 
any profll on our importations) wnieh will enable 
us to supply them with Teas at prices lower than 
have ovor been known, and ol those tine qualities 
.hi t seldom reach the Interior, being sold only to 
the large cities and among the very wealthy.

explanations of how to proceed to obtain onr goods, 
we remain.
