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 n specialty of SUPPLYING CON- 
SUM ERS ONLY (and allow no middlemen to make 
any profit on our Importations), wntch will enable 
us to Bupply them with Teas at prte«s lower than 
ha^e ever been known, and of those fine qualities 
Jut seldom reach the interior, being sold oulv to 
the large cities and among the very wealthy. 
Hoping the consumer will take an Interest in our

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