CHEAT AND GROW RICH

THIS has been the secred principle of too many
OF the wholesale dealers in TEAS up to this time, y
they have practlced the most shameful imposition
on the country Merchants without any tear of de.
lection. But a new era in the TEA 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 a,
Honest Prces" A complete revolution has been
The consequence. Let consumers OF tea louk at
what We have done.
l4t. We were the first to send them tea that IL
scd to be called too good for them.
ID. We have drivenO out Of the market vast
amount OF trash, and introduced better class ol
teas than has ever been sold Importers of teas
ofen came 10 lis to get for their own Use, aud 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 Grcen teas. The whole
sale grocers say we 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
chests, or 1t lbs box, ~ the same prices that
Wholesale grocers pay to the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
ID. The wholesale gro cts only allow l3, and
at most Il lbs. tare 10 The half chest. This Is d
cheat, We allow in most cases, Is TO 10 lba., on
the same.
3D., We hereby undertake to sell every kind o.
Ieus from six to twelve cents per ID. cheaper than
the wholesale grocers do.
How can eve do this ask' tho country mcr-
Chant
Ths il our answer. We are content with 7
per CT profit instead OF 2j and 80 per ct. As A
wholesale grocer.
We deserve the thanks of the country mcr-
chant for saving him hereafter fom being cheat
ed. ! ct them come to the warehouse of the Pc
KIN TEA COMPANY, aud compare samples of
tea they get elsewhere; aud ii they buy lad teas
then at high prices, it is their own fault.
An Ehg'lsh importer lat 'ly 10, s:ed that he could
make more money ly SEEDING bad teas TO the N
\. nurke! than on good teas We are resolved
to overthrow this fraud; and now call unon n.
gents IN every town in the United States to come
forward and buy the TEAS imported hy the Pc
KIN TEA COMPANY; and we pledge ourselves
that il IN six months lh'y do not sell more tea
than the oldest and largest dealers in the town,
We will give them our tea without al y charge.

stood. We appeal Tor testimony To the immense
success OF our agents in any part OF the United
