CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

THIS bias been the secret principle Of too many
i Of the wholesale dealers in Teas up to this time.
and they have pracsed the most shameful imposition
on the Country Merchant without any fear OF detec-
ton. But new era in the Tea Trade has come and
Pekin Tea Company claims The honor Of It's intro
duction They were the first to raise the banner Of
Reform on which ii has inscribed the simple words:
"PURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES"
A complete revolution has heen the consequences.
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 use, and for their friends
fine qualities they can find nowhere ese.
Sd. Wehave reduced prices mote than rs per Ct,
both in Black and Green Teas. The wholesale
grocers say we are running tho 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 grocers pay to the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
I'd. The wholesale groceIs allow only Is or at
mot IA pounds tare to the half chest This Is
cheat. We allow, iu most instances, Is and 10
Sd. We hereby undertake to sell every kind OF
Tea, from sir to tus!ue cents per pound cheaper
than the wholesale grocers do.
How can we do thisl asks the country merchant
This 10 our answer. We are content with seven
per cent profit 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
An English importer lately boosted TO VA that he
could make more money by sending bad Teas to the
New York Market than on good Teas We are
resolved to overthrow this fraud and 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 It in six
months they do not sell more Tee than the Oldest
and largest dealers in the town, we will give them
our Tea without charge. This is 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
Ks Agents wanted in every town in the'U United
Satos for the sale OF these Teas, by which they
make money, and confer benefit upon the Public
by supplying the pure article.
