COFFEE GROUND BY STEAM POWER,
AT THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
NO. 2, BOLD-STREET.

Wdeem it incumbent on ourselves to address our
Customers and the Inhabitants of Liverpool gene-
rally, in consequence of some extraordinary statements
having appeared in the form of advertisements and pla-
cards respecting the prices of the finest Jamaica Coffee.
Two months since, when Government reduced the duty
on Foreign Coffee, we publicly announced it, and MADE
THE REDUCTION. Since that period we have been as-
sailed by many in the trade (some directly and others in-
directly) charging us with quoting the finest Jamaica
Coffee at much higher prices than they can sell it. In our
last circular we pointed out that the FINEST MOUNTAIN
JAMAICA COFFEE could not be sold under two shillings
per lb. We again repeat it ; and further, we DEFY any
one in Me trade to sell the CHOICEST DESCRIPTIONS
OF COFFEE at a lower price and obtain afair remunera-
ting profit, unless adulterated with chicory, which we
know is almost universally adopted.
After mature deliberation we have decided that such
gross impositions shall be exposed, and we are determined
to put it down, or at least to bring it before the public in
such a manner, that if they buy it afterwards, they buy it
knowingly ; we have, therefore, had erected expressly A
POWERFUL STEAM-ENGINE, on a new principle, so that
Customers may see their COFFEE GROUND as they pur-
chase it, and we wish to impress THE FACT upon the
mind of both Rich and Poor, that unless they adhere to
this principle, or buy it in the berry, that nine times out
of ten they will buy one-fourth chicory, or some other
stuff mixed with it, which easily accounts for many persons
quoting their best Coffee at Is. 10d. per lb., and some
even quote the finest Jamaica, at Is. Bd. per lb. This
latter class, although important in regard to their num-
bers, are perfectly insignificant in point of respectability.
We have dwelt thus particularly on the article of Coffee
for three plain reasons :
First,—The immense quantity of Coffee that is con-
sumed in this town justifies us in giving our principles
publicity.
Secondly,--The vast quantity of Chicory that is used
and sold as Coffee, finds its way into the coffee-pots of all,
more particularly of the working classes, as they have not
generally the convenience for grinding.
Thirdly,—We unflinchingly pledge ourselves to sell
none but pure Coffee, and repeat, we defy those who quota
the finest kinds of Jamaica Coffee at Is. Bd. au4 Is. 10d.
per lb. to sell it without adulteration of some kind or
other.

Having pointed out the foregoing facts, we thank it un-
necessary to snake further remarks, as we have exposed
the gigantic evil, and have placed you in a position to
protect yourselves.
It may be well here to remind you that when establish-
ing ourselves in this town, as Tea and Coffee Dealers, we
stated " when any change took place for the benefit of
consumers we should give it publicity." This, we consi-
der, is a change well worthy the attention of every Coffee-
drinker.
OUR PRICES ARE FOR} ls. 6d. per lb.,
REALLY FINE FOREIGN suitable for Schools and
COFFEE . . large Consumers.
Common Jamaica, Broken Berry, ls. per lb. ;—a useful
description at ls. 2d. to ls. 4d. per lb. ;—ft fine Jamaica
Coffee, at Is. Bd. per lb., much recommended ;—also a
recherche sample of Mountain Jamaica, at as. per lb.
Having drawn your attention minutely to the Coffee
Trade, we alo not wish it to be thought that the TEA
TRADE occupies a less important feature in our estima-
tion than it has hitherto done ; en the contrary, we have
the same determination of purpose in dealing out this
article as Coffee. No doubt can now exist that we have
established an EXTENSIVE FAMILY TEA TRADE, by ex-
ercising spirited enterprise, careful judgment, and honesty
of purpose; beyond all these our best interest Is consulted
by SELLING GOOD TEAS, at a small profit, for READY
MONEY. This we shall do at the following prices:—
Good Congou Tea, 3s. 6d. to 3s. Bd. per lb. for com-
mon use;--FINE STRONG CONGOU, 4s. fit for household
purposes ;—THE FINEST CONGOU IMPORTED, 4s. 6d. per
lb., much recommended ;—CITOICE SOUCRONG, ifs. per Ib.
From our commencement we have aspired to a high
position, having obtained it, we are resolved to use every
means in our power to maintain that confidence which has
existed throughout our career between ourselves and sup-
porters.
In conclusion we invite " a careful comparison," and if
others can sell better articles, at a less price, on fair and
honourable terms, we willingly resign the trade to them,
as ‘'IF admire competition when conducted on liberal
principles.
We are your obedient Servants,
HOLLIS, WALFORD, & CO.

mended to those desirous of having a cheap and brilliant
Light. The Camphine Lamps are perfectly harmless,
being constructed on the Solar principle, and where Gas
cannot be procured, they will be found an excellent sub-
stitute, the Light being equally as clieip and brilliant.
They are entirely free from smell or smoke, consequently
much superior to any hitherto in use.

AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE.
IAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE
lJ TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced
on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from
the rest, and possessir g a flavour, a fragrance, or strength,
peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro-
portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tea. This
discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great
advantages united in one individual, and the result of
numerous experiments and the most minute analysis.
For another to produce the same result, be must possess
equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of
procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the
exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may
never once have visited China, he must have had equal
opportunities of securing to himself, its productions :
with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there
in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How-
qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the
secret of compounding his Mixture_
Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell
tea, they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture dif-
fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONE
RE AL " Howqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif-
ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The
499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority
of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose
that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight
Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that
country, would be so silly—even were it possible—as to
yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable
a secret.

The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having
tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or
nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to
guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe
that " THE SIGNATURE THUS,"

THE AUTUMN SEASON.

The rising sun dispels the hazy fog,
The rigid hoar-fro t melts upon the ground ;
And hung on every spray, on every blade,
The myriad dewdrops sparkle all around I
In presenting before my distinguished patrons my arrangements
and extensive preparations for the present season, I consider it
first a paramount duty, combined with a positive pleasure, to
return my sincere thanks for the continued success which has
for so many years enabled me to produce such novelties as have
been entirely unprecedented, and which have given to my nu-
merous establishments, both in England and Scotland, a cha-
racter hitherto unparallelled in the annals of Clothing.
Immense patronage demands the most decisive proofs of gra-
titude and respect; and to thotie who have so nobly supported
me throughout a long career of mercantile enterprise, I beg
leave most respectfully td tender my gratefnl acknowledgments.
My arrangements foe the present season are now approaching
to a completion, and combine
Vestings, of exquisite beauty and shade,
In countless profusion are tastefully laid;
The richest designs which the loom can supply
Delight every fancy and please every eye !
In the tour which I have recently made throughout the Eng-
lish, Scottish, and Continental markets, I have selected upwards
of 6000 of the most magnificent designs in Vestings, which can-
not be obtained by any other house in the kingdom. The
" principal styles" are entirely my own property, and can only
be seen at my establishment; and, although I have adopted this
novel method of securing the most recherchZ designs, yet econo-
my will be found blended with their extreme beauty and dura-
bility.—The Materials which I have selected for Trouserings
combine every novelty yet introduced into this count' y ; the
stock being truly immense, and the patterns so much diversified,
it insures to every one the certainty of being pleased. Again,
the magnificent display of
Materials for Over Coats,
For every age and station,
Are such as must excite in all
The meed of approbation !
In the above useful garments I have introduced a variety of
new and beautiful features, and amongst the many novelties
may be enumerated the Glenlyon Driving Coat, the Parisian
Envelope, the Albert Riding, and the Waterford Walking Coats.
Now these are entirely new, and different to any style yet intro-
duced, and will be found to possess that gentlemanly appearance
so much admired amongst the bout ton, Combining, as my
establishments do, the most recherche resigns, the greatest no-
velties, the most scientific cutters a .d experienced workmen,
and yet, from my immense purchases, being enabled to sell 40
per cent. under the usual prices. I venture to hope for the kind
continuance of the favour of my distinguished patrons ; whilst
no future efforts of mine shall be wanting to merit their generous
support.-1 have the honour to be the public's obliged servant.
