LIVERPOOL, 2nd Itarch,lB49.
ROYAL BANK BUILDING S.—
We announced, on the 22nd of January, the arrival of
some very promising " Chops" of the New Crop of Black Tea,
one of which—the KEE-HIND CHop—which we considered
decidedly superior in quality to other marks—we had then
purchased. THIS is now ready for delivery to Families ; and
we are happy to inform our friends that the test of experience
has fully ratified the opinion which we prononnced on its me-
rits. It is acknowledged by connoisseurs to be of undeniable

excellence.
Where QUALITY has been made the primary consideration,
and PRICE is fixed upon strictly economical principles, we
feel confident that our own interests, iLs involved in the ques-
tion of PROFITS, will be secured by the increasing demand
which has been and must be the inevitable result of our sys-
tem, so obviously based on justice and prudence.
A large proportion—probably more than two-thirds—of the
First Class of Black Tea imported during the present season,
has proved to be very inferior in quality, though it is, at the
same time, deceptive in appearance. In consequence of this
fallacious resemblance to a choice commodity, many families
have, no doubt, experienced much disappointment and annoy-
ance, especially in cases where they have placed too great con-
fidence in parties possessing little, if any, sound judgment in
the selection of Tea—a department of trade which now requires
more than ordinary experience, care, and skill.
The gratifying amount of success which has attended our
efforts, and the recognised superiority of our Teas, have in-
duced many dealers (more ambitious than conscientious, and
with more of assurance than of right principle) to resort to
the expedient of soliciting Families in our names, but without
our authority, and, in some instances, to adopt the still more
delusive plan of opening shops in this and other towns, over
which our Names have been ostentatiously paraded in large
letters as baits to the Purchaser.
It is, however, a source of unfeigned satisfaction to us that,
notwithstanding all the schemes resorted to in order to mislead
the public, the support which has been accorded to us in this
New Branch of our Trade—the supply of Families—has been
steadily increasing during the last nine years. This fact, while
it calls for our grateful acknowledgments, affords a satisfactory
proof that the Public can readily discriminate between the
false professions which are too often employed to push the sale
of an article, and that conscientious care which looks to aper-
manent connection as the chief source of a profitable business
with mutual advantage.
It is, therefore, only requisite for us to remark that our place
of business is in the ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS, near the Ex-
CHANGE. LIVERPOOL.
The principles upon which our business has hitherto been
conducted having operated successfully in protecting the inte-
rest of the public, we again refer to those principles, as the
basis upon which our system of business will continue to be
carried out in future. It will be found that we steadily adhere
to the following important maxims :
First,—To afford to Families CONSIDERABLE ADVANTAGES
IN PRICE, conautueu vv 5115 ran, roaaad wo as, a. a (L.., •
Secondly,—Never to permit our young men to press the sale,
or recommend the quality, of any article not actually inquired
for; but to let every sample of our goods rest for support upon
its own intrinsic merits.
The adoption of these rules has received the stamp of public
approbation. Our persevering observance of them will prove
the surest guarantee that we can offer of our sincere desire to
merit the unprecedented amount of support with which we
have been favoured.
As complaints have been made of the inconvenience frequently
experienced by Families, in consequence of having to wait in
giving their orders at our hitherto crowded Retail Counter, we
are happy to announce that we have made arrangements with
the Management of the Royal Bank, by which we shall obtain
considerable addition to our front premises, with the advantage
of an entrance direct from Dale-street. The necessary altera-
tions are now in progress, and we hope to open these premises
in a few weeks, with many increased facilities for the transac-
tion of our business.
Families residing in the country may now avail themselves
of the LOW RATES OF CHARGE UPON THE CARRIAGE OF PAR-
CELS BY RAILWAY, and thus obtain their supplies without any
material additional expense. The charges are regulated by the
various Railway Companies upon precisely proportionate scales,
according to weight and distance. The facilities thus afforded
by several lines which have been recently opened,, will enable
us to supply parties in many localities, from which we have
been hitherto, to some extent, excluded, the obstacles which
existed to prevent the prompt delivery of goods, and by the
heavy cost of transit.
It is necessary that we should state, that whenever desired,
we pre-pay the carriage of parcels forwarded from our Esta-
blishment, including the charge in the invoice. Some parties,
with a view to attraction, indiscriminately offer to defray the
carriage. It is obviously impossible that such promises can
be carried into effect, without inflicting ultimate disappoint-
ment on the purchaser. Whilst we avoid such unsatisfactory
engagements, we take the better alternative of sending to all
parts of the kingdom A SUPERIOR QUALITY OF TEA AT A
PRICE which must tend to secure further transactions.
Attention is invited to the FINE BLACK TEA at 4/ and 4/4,
also Excellent Second Qualities at 3/ to 3/6, which can be well
recommended to the notice of all large Consumers.

TIIE QUALITY OF COFFEE IMPROVED.
IjAMILTON and DAVIES have pleasure in
referring to the increasing demand for their COFFEES,
—(Roasted on their Improved Principle,)—as a satisfactory
proof of the superiority of their New System of Roasting and
Cleansing Coffee. The success which has attended H. and D.'s
efforts has imparted to them renewed energy to maintain and
deserve continued support.

Their QUALITY, now Is. 6d., (Equal to former Is. 8d.,)
Possesses peculiar Strength and richness of Flavour.
SECOND QUALITY, now Is. 2d.
(Equal to former ls. 4d.) Is Strong and Full Flavoured.
