NOTICE

THE LONDON and NORTH-WESTERN
TEA COMPANY have opened PREMISES in
OLD POSTOPPICE-PLACE, CHURCH-STREET,
LIVERPOOL, for the SALE of TEA in retail quantities.
The Company have been stimulated in their enterprise by
the disposition of Retail Dealers to deprive the Public of the
benefit of the late Reductions in the Duty.
Although every means of Advertising has bgen
xtuu,Lion in tea unties, and A fur-
ther Reduction of 4d. per 1b.," yet when Customers have
claimed the benefit of such Reduction, either in Price or
Quality, they have been met with mere evasion, or a con-
temptible subterfuge of words.
Nearly Seventy Million Pounds of Tea are Annually Im-
ported into this Country. If we contemplate this immense
consumption, and how much Tea contributes to comfort and
morality of the masses, we must see how necessary it was for
the Government to reduce the late enormous Duty upon it.
But, SHOULD DEALERS or CONSUMERS HAVE TEE '
BENEFIT OF THIS REDUCTION 1•
.
The fiscal restrictions of Government have not been more
damaging to the Tea Trade than the dishonest system of
Dealers, who maintain their exorbitant Profits by reducing
the Quality whenever they are compelled to reduce the Price.

The fragrance so abundant in gond Tea has been superseded
by Dealers with artificially-flavoured kinds. Such doctored
Tea can In no wise possess that exhilarating and restorative
influence upon.the animal system so characteristic of genuine
sorts, as fine Congous and Souchongs.

It was not the mere taste and colour of its infusion that
first caused Tea to be so much esteemed in this country, or
that could make it sell for 60s. per lb., its price in England
in 1666.

The LONDON and NORTH-WESTERN COMPANY Wish to en-
courage the Import and Consumption of FINE SOUCHONGS
and FINE CONGOUS ; and while their Stock will comprise
