the  assistance  they  can  In  carrylns  out  our  enter¬ 
prise,  as  we  make  a  specialty  of  SUPPLYING  CON- 
SUMKKS  ONLY  (and  allow  no  middlemen  to  make 
any  profit  on  our  Importations),  wnicli  will  enable 
us  to  supply  them  with  Tea*  at  price  i  lower  than 
have  ever  been  known,  and  of  thore  fine  quahtle 
thft  seldom  reach  the  Interior,  beinv  sold  only  to 
the  larse  cities  and  amonu  the  very  wealthy. 
Hoping  the  consumer  will  take  an  interest  In  our 
enterprise,  and  send  at  once  for  a  circular  with  full 
explanations  of  how  to  proceed  to  obtain  our  Roods,
