THIS has been the scored principle OF TOO many
OF the wholesale dealers in TEAs up 10 this tne, u
they have pTaeticed the most shameful imposition
on the country Merchants without any fear OF de-
lection. But a new era in the TIA TRADE has
come, and the PEKlN TEA COMPANY claims
the honor Of its Introduction. They were the
first TO raise the bannerof Reform, on which they
have inscribed the simple words-"Pure Teas at
Honest Pfices!" a complete revolution has been
the consequence. Let consumers Of tea Look at
what we have done.
| lst. We were the first to send them tea that u
sed to be called too good for them.
I Cd. We have driven out Of the market a vast
amount Of trash, and introduced a better class OF
teas than has ever been sold. Importers of teas
often came to to get for their own use, and for
Their friends, fine qualities Of teas they can find
nowhere else.
Sd. We have reduced prices more than 90 per
cent, both Of Black and Green teas The whole
sale grocers say we 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, hall
chests, or IL lbs box, al the same prices that
wholesale grocers pay TO the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
%. The wholesale groeers only allow 10, and
at most "a lbs. tare 10 the half chest This Is a
cheat. We allow in most cases, IS TO I6 lbs., on
the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake TO sell every kind oil
teas from six to twelve cents per ID. cheaper than
the wholesale grocers do.
How can we do this asks the country mer-
chant
This Is our answer. We are content with Z
per ct. profit instead Of 2j and SO per ct. As A
wholesale grocer
We deserve the thanks of the country mcr-
chant for saving him hereafter from being cheat
cd. Let them come to the warehouse of the Pc
KIN TEA COMPANY, and compare samples o
tea they get elsewhere; aud il they buy bad teas
then at high prices, It is their own fault.
An English importer lately boosted that he could
make more money by sending bad teas to the N
Y. market than on good teas. We are resolved
to overthrow this fraud; and now call upon a
gents IN every town in the United States to comC
forward and buy the TEAS imported by the Pc
KIN TEA COMPANY; and we pledge ourseve,
that il in six months they DO not sell more te,
than the oldest and largest dealers in the town
we will give them our tea without any charge
This is the plain English and cannot be misunder
Stood We appeal for testimony TO the immense
success Of our agents in any part OF the United
States.
GFAgents wanted in every town in the United
States for these teas, by which they can MAKE
money, aud confer a benefit on the public by sup
plying the pure article.
