ROM circumstances that have recently transpired, it is
1 evident (notwithstanding the numerous convictions that took
place some time since) that the adulteration of Tea with spurious
leaves continues to be practised, which accounts for the difficulty
so generally felt, of purchasing it genuine in retail quantities, or
if of good quality, at reasonable prices. In consequence of this,
and a combination among nearly all the extensive Tea Dealers,
of an injurious tendency to the Public, which the East India
Company have strongly objected to, and Ineffectually endeavoured
to prevent, arrangeincots have been in progress for some time to
enable the Public to obtain a regular and cheap supply of pure
TEA and COFFEE, and the
EAST INDIA TEA COMPANY
are now enabled to submit the following plan, as calculated effec-
tually to remove the present evils:—
Pure Tea and Coffee is packed in peculiar leaden cases, calcu-
lated to pieserve its qUality, which are del vered to Agents direct
from the Company's Warehouses, to sell to the Public for ready
money, on a commission of little more titan a third of what is
allowed in similar cases. To secure its delivery, free from adulte-
ration, the Price and Signature or the Secretary will be on each
package ; and Depots are established at Norwich. Birmingham,
Portsmouth, Bristol, Devonport, Leicester, Sheffield, Notting-
ham, Leeds, Hull, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle-on-Tyne,
in England ; at Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. in Scotland ;
anti at Belfast, Dublin, Waterford, and Cork, in Ireland ; from
whence all the Retail Agents in the surrounding districts will
obtain supplies for the Public, and always enable the residents in
the remotest parts of the United Kingdom to purchase Tea and
Coffee, free from adulteration' at the following reduced rates, as
easily and advantageously as in London.
