CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

THIS has been the secret principle of too MANY

How can we do thisl asks tho country merchant.
This is our4answer. We are content with seven

for saving them hereafter from being cheated Let
them come to the Warehouse of the Pekin Tea

clscwhere; and if they buy bad Teas then at high
prices II is their own fault.
An English importer lately boasted to us that he
could make more money by sending had Teas to the
New York market, than on good Teas. We are
resolved to overthrow this fraud; and now call upon
agents In every town in The United States to come
forward and buy Teas imported by the Pekin Tea
Company, and we pledge ourselves, that il in six
months they do not sell more Tea than the Oldest
and largest dealers in the town, we will give them

cannot be misunderstood. We appeal for te. timo.
