Now these teas

are all good of their several kinds. some of them

exceedingly fine, and of a qualtty very rarely to be met with. At
one penny per pound profit they will be supplied to the trade and all
large consumers, in lots and quantities to suit the most extensive de-
=ands. As will ha noshed by the above list, se It is a well-known
tact, that the original cost of finest Congou tea is over 39 tnels, or
23. 2d. per potind, whfeh, 'with duty added, makes 4s. 414 d. per
Mound. We have, ever since we began selling teas at Number One,
sold this description at 4s. 6d. per pound. Hundreds and thousands
- Of people have, tried it. and can vouch fer its strength and richness
of flavour. Nobody ever finds fault with it, and it pleases every
body, because it is both good and cheap. When, Government falls
the duty, we will fall the price of tea in the same ratio, at Number
One, and publish it to the world. All purchasers will be allowed one
Pound on every 30 pounds as overweight.
