gency OF the new YORK
CANTON TEA COMPANY.
THE OLDEST TEA ESTABLISHMENT IN
AMERICA!
PRINCIPAL ESTABLISHMENT IN
NEW YORK.
TEyHE CANTON TEA COMPANY has been
- peculiarly known for many years. This is the
largest and Oldest Tea Establishment in America
The public have had full proof Of their integrity and
responsibility. But such has been tho great and
pressing demand for their TEAS Of late, that they
have been obliged to enlarge, to great extent their
two principal establishments in New York, viz:
1875 CHATHAM AND I63 GREENWICH
STREETS.
They moreover possess facilities, ia relation to the
Tea Trade, in very abundant degree, and doubt
less superior To any other Tea Concern in America.
Their scrupulous regard to all principles that tend
TO elevate the character Of large house, is well
dersiood, and has already secured them a con:ec-
ZION, probably, larger than all other Tea Establish
ments united, and they consequently are determined
10 sell Teas purer, more fragrant, and perfect fin
The prices, in the aggregate, than any house in the
world-China excepted.
They most zealnusly invite the attention Of the in
habitants of WASHINGTON, d. G., to their
Agency where the following assortments are always
on hand; and they feel hesitation in stating that
wherever single trial is made, very decided pre-
ference is given 10 the celebrated Teas Of the CAN
TON TEA COMPANY.

have been made by large majority OF the thinking

calculated to hasten and ensure the triumph OF Bu-
