CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

THIS has been the the secret principle Of too ma
i ny of the wholesale dealers in Teas up to thi,
time and they have prac,ised the most shameful i'm
position on The Country Merchant without any fea
Of detection. But new era in the Tea Trade hal
come and the Pekin Tea Company claims the honol
of its Introduction. They the frs, to raise the
banner Of Reform which it has inscribed the sim
pie words:
ssPURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES.n
complete revolution has been the consequence.
Let consumers of Tea everywhere look at what we
have done.
LIST. We were the first to send them Teas that
used to be called too good for them before.
I'd. We have driven out the market vast amount
Of trash, and introduced better class Of Teas than
has ever yet been sold. Importers Of Tea often come
to us to get for their own use, and for heir friends
fine qualities they can find nowhere else.
Sd. We have reduced prices more than 25 per
cent, both in Black and Green Teas. The whole
sale grocers say 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 prices that whole
sale grocers pay to the importers whom they buy by
the hundred packages.
%. The wholesale groce,s allow only Is or at
most Ia pounds tsre to the half chest. This is a
cneat. we aiOW, III most INSTANCES, Ia anu 10 lbs
tare on the same.
Sd We hereby undertake to sell every kind Of
Tea, from from sac 10 t,oelre cents per pound chez
pey than the wholesale g,ocers do.
How can we do this asks the country merchant
This is our answer. We are content with seven
per cent profit instead Of 25 and SO per cent, a Ia
wholesale grocer.
We deserve the thanks of the country merchants
for saving them hereafter from being cheated. Let
hem come TO the Warehouse Of The Pekin Tea Com
pany, and compare samples Of Tea they get else
where and il they buy bad Teas then al high prices
i, is their own fault
An Engleh importer lately boosted to us that he
could make more money by sending bad Teas 10 the
New York market, than grod Teas We are
resolved to overthrow tits fraud and now call upon
agents in every town in the United Safes to come
forward and buy Teas imported by the Pekin Tea
Company and we pledge ourselves that If in six
months they do not sell more Tea than the oldest
and agest dealers in the town. we will give them
our Tea without charge. This is plain English and
canno, be misunderstood. We appeal for testimony to
,he immense success Of our Agents in any part Of
the United States.
Is-Agents wanted in every Town in the United
States for the sale OF these Teas, by which they
make money, and confer beneit upon the Public
by sui ply ing The pure article.
