CANTON TEA COMPANY.

THE OLDEST TEA ESTABLISHMENT IN
AMERICA!
PRINCIPAL ESTABLISHMENT IN
NEW YORK.
YTyHE CANTON TEA COMPANY has been
IL popularity known for many years. This is the
largest and Oldest Tea Establishment in America
The public have had foil proof of their integrity and
responsibility. But such has been the 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 l83 GREENWICH
STREETS.
They moreover possess facilities in relation to the
Tea Trade, in very abundant degree, and doubt
less, superior to any other Tea Concern in America
Their scrupuous regard TO all principles that tend
to elevate the character Of large house, Is well I'M
ders,ood, and has already secured them connec-
tion, probably larger than all other Tea Establish
u,eDts united and they consequently are determined
to sell Teas pHrer, more fragrant. and perfect Jor
the prices in the aggregate, than any house in the
world-China excepted.
They most zealously invite the attention Of the in
habiants of WASHINGTON, d. g., to their
Agency, where the following assortments ate always
on hand; and they feel hesitation In stating that
wherever single trial il made very decided pre-
ference is given TO the celebrated Teas ofthe CAN
