THE NEW TEA ESTABLISHMENT,

TO THF. NOBILITY, CLERGY, GENTRY, AND FAMI-
LIES IN LIVERPOOL, LANCASHIRE, AND THE
ADJOINING COUNTIES.

WE respectfully announce that we have taken those
Eligible and Commanding Premises, situated No. 17,
DALE-STREET, Corner of Hackin's Hey, and nearly opposite
North John-street, the most leading and central situation in
Liverpool, for the purpose of carrying on an Extensive WHOLE-
SALE and RETAIL READY MONEY TEA and COFFER
TRADE, which are NOW OPEX.
In opening new PREMISE it is customary, and indeed
necessary, to give a brief sspianation of the system on which.
the business will be con4geted, and it is our intention in this,
our opening address, tor convey to you, that our claims for pa-
tronage and suppol,eare founded on totally different grounds
to others in the a Trade.

Known as we are, and have been for nearly ten years, at
No. 2, BOLD-STREET, under the firm of HOLLIS, WALFORD,
and Co., we thick we need only state that, having ReUsta-
blished ourselves, we intend to carry on a first-rate RETAIL
TEA TRADE, on the same principles as we formerly did.

Were we opening these Premises as entire strangers to the
Inhabitants of this densely populated Port, it might be neces-
sary for us to dwell at some length on the grounds of one
CLAIMS UPON You, but as we have been only temporarily
absent, we deem it expedient FIRST-to explain the cause of
our absence, and-SECONDLY-t 0 lay before you our pre-
sent views in opening these Premises.
In explaining the two points above alluded to, we have to
say as regsrds-Tnu FIRST-the reason of our obsence has
been owing to our having become guarantee for the payment
of a heavy amount, for a party whom we thought a friend
(whose name we shall not mention), but, alas ! we found it to
the contrary.

SECONDLY,—In laying before you our present views, we can
only repeat, as we did some years since, that having had many
years experience in the TEA TRADE in the most extensive
houses in the kingdom, we can say without assuming arro-
gance to ourselves, that our judgment has been tested by the
best and most critical judges in the trade, therefore we feel
justified in stating our—invincible determination is to establish
one of the largest RETAIL TRADES out of London.

The question has been asked by many in the Trade :—why
another Tea Establishment is wanted in Liverpool ? The
question, though asked in no friendly spirit, requises answer-
ing, which we shall do. and that to the purpose.
Ist.—Because we know tnere is ample scope for Public
Competition, where there are between 300,000 and
400,000 inhabitants, and the majority of those are not
reaping the advantages in price and quality which they
ought to do, considering the present prices of Tea.
2nd.—Because we know that a large trade is to be done
where energy, perseverance, and attention are com-
bined.

3rd.—Because we have greater experience and facilities in
the London Markets for purchasing at the best time
than any Retail House in Liverpool, owing to our being
intimately acquainted with the Leading Brokers in
London.

reply to this question is twofold—FlßST—because we arein-
formed by several of our friends that they cannot get such
GOOD TEA as they did from us. SECOND-We are deter-
mined to show our Friends and the Inhabitants that, owing to
the misrepresentation circulated, as to our want of honour in
satisfying the claims of our former creditors—we now return
and herewith publicly state, that our whole and sole object is
combined in liquidating all our former liabilities in full, when
we have raised ourselves to that position we originally held in
this enterprising port
The recent ex

ure that has taken place in the newspapers
of the manufacturing of Spurious Leaves to resemble Tea in
this town is visited with justice and will show the public that to
obtain TEA free from adulteration, it has now become impera-
tive on families, both rich and poor, to purchase the article at
a respectable TEA ESTABLISHMENT; and as a guarantee
to those who may favour us with their support, we pledge our-
selves to abstain from admitting into our stock Tea of a doubt-
ful or precarious character, which will enable us to supply the
old fashioned sort of Tea.
All thinking minds who are engaged in commerce, are aware
that without experience and competition, no business,-
art,-or science-cun progress-but when competition is
great, then the energies and abilities of the parties become
developed, and a healthy action is produced,-without this
salutary influence, the Population of most large towns would
become like a pool of stagnant water, perfectly useless if not
positively injurious.
LIVERPOOL, (next to London,) unquestionably the largest
Port in the World, presents in no portion of its commerce such
scope for honourable competition as in the TEA TRADE, (ac-
cording to our judgment,) if we look around this VAST POPII.•
LATION we see an opening pointed out for a leading Tea Esta-
blishment, where Families can be supplied on the same terms
and with the same qualities as Messrs. Twining: and Co.,
Messrs. Ridgway and Co., Messrs. Dakin and Co., and other
leading houses in London, are in the habit of supplying the
Nobility with.
One remark more remains to be made respecting the system

on which we shall conduct our business; and to demonstrate
it clearly, we shall base our principle on precisely the same
terms as we formerly did,-viz.---by buying in the BEST
MARKETS, selling for SMALL PROFITS, and thereby making a
quick return. You will here observe, particularly, that our
primary object is to deal out real good qualities both in Teas
and Coffees, and we respectfully solicit a " trial." The follow-
ing are the prices at which we shall sum

Having laid before you and explained the object of our open-
ing these Premises, we have only one more point to draw your
attention to—which is—that we are possessed of capital suffi-
cient to buy for READY MONEY, which will enable us to act up
strictly to our profession:—notwithstanding this :—we are
quite aware that we shall have AN IMMENSE amount of preju—
dice to surmount, owing to our former unforeseen circum-
stances, but where judgment,—perseverance,—and energy
are combined with economical management and honourable
competition, we know prosperity must attend:—on these
grounds we rest a portion of our claims of patronage and sup-
port, respectfully soliciting the Inhabitants to give us " Orin
TRIAL ' and compare our Teas with those you are purchasing
at higher prices.
In conclusion we entreat your candid and impartial attention
to the above details, wherein ire have clearly shown you, that
YOUR INTEREST is studied, as well as our own character con-
cbeyrn e
indisputabled—
we again repeat, "ONE TRIAL"
is all we ask of you to prove
our assertion, and if not found to
deserve your sunnort do not trust us in future.
