CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

THIS has been the secret principle Of too many
Of the wholesale dealers in Teas up To this time.
and they have praclisej the most shameful imposition
on the Country Merchant without any fear Of dstec-
ton. But new era in the Tea Trade has come and
Pekin Tea Company claims the honor Of its intro
ducton. They were the first to raise the banner Of
Reform, on which il has inscribed the simple words:
"PURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES. .
A complete revolution has heen the consequence.
Let consumers Of Tea everywhere lock at what we
have done.
lst We were the first to send them Teas that
used to be called too good for them before
3D. We have driven out the marke, vast amount
of trash, aud introduced better class Of Teas than
has ever yet been sold. Importers Of Tea often como
to us to get for their use, and for their frieds,
fine qualities they can find nowhere else.
Sd. We have reduced prices mote than 25 per CT,
both in Black and Green Teas. The Wholesale
grocers soy we are running the trade and call US
humbugs. This we have done already, and now
see what we are ready to do.
lst. We will sell Teas by the single chest, half
chest or Ia pound box, at the same prices that
wholesale groceIs pay to tho Importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
ID. The wholesale grocers allow only l3 or at
most Ia pounds tare to the half chest. This is a
cheat. We allow, III most instances, 10 and 10
lbs. tare on the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake to sell every kind OF
Tea, from sir to t,oslre cents per pound cheaper
thun the wholesale srocers do.
How can we do thisi asks the country merchant.
This is our answer. We are content with seven
per cen, prof. instead Of rs and SO per cent, Ia
wholesale grocer.
We deserve the thanks Of the country merchants
for saving them hereafter from being cheated. Let
them come TO the Warehouse of the Pekin Tea
Company, and compare samples Of Tea they get
elsewhere; and if they buy bad Teas then at high
prices it il their own fault. r.
An English importer lately boosted TO us that he
could make more money by sending bad Teas 10 the
New York market, than on good Teas. We are
resolved overthrow this fraud; and now call upon
sgents in every town in the United States to come
forward and buy Teas imported ty the Pekin Tea
Company. and we pledge ourselves, that If in six
months hey DO not sell more Teo than the Oldest
and largest dealers in the town, we will give them
our Tea without charge. This 10 plain English and
cannot be misunderstood. We appeal for testimo-
mony to the immense success Of orr Agents in any
part Of the United States. ~.
I- Agents wanted in every town in the United
Satos for the sale Of these Teas, by which they
make money, and confer benefit upon the Public
by supplying the pure article.
