CHEAT AND GROW RICH,

THIS has been the seered principle Of TOO many
OF the wholesale dealers in TEAs up to this time, &
they have pTactleed 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 PEKIN TEA COMPANY claims
the honor OF lis Introduction. They were the
first TO raise the haBnerOf Reform, on which they
have inscribed the simple wOrds-"pure Teas at
Honest Priees!" A complete revolution has been
the consequence. Let consumers OF tea look at
what We have done.
Ist. We were the first to send them tea thar u
sed 10 be called too good Tor them.
%. We bave driven Out Of the market vast
amount Of trash, and introduced a better class Of
teas than bas ever been sold. Importers Of teas
often came 10 Us to get for their own USE and for
Their friends Gne qualities of teas they can Gnd
nowhere else.
Sd. We have reduced prices mere than 20 per
cent, both Of Black and GJeRn teas. The whole
sale grocers say we are rgining the trade and call
us humbugs. This we hays done already, and
now see what We are ready 10 do.
Let. We will sell teas BY the single chest, hall
chests, or II he. box, al the same prices that
wholesale grocers pay 10 the importers when they
buy by the hundred packages.
Cd. The wholesale grocers only allow 10, and
at most IA lbs. tare 10 the half chest. This is a
cheat. We allow in most cases, Is TO l6 lbs, on
the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake 10 sell every kind Of
teas from six 70 twelve cents per ID. cheaper than
the wholesale grocers do.
! How can We do this asks the country mer-
chanL
This is our answer. We are content with 7
per CT. profit instead OF 25 and so per CT. AS A
wholesale grocer.
! ", Al, r. IL
chant for saving him hereafter from being cheat
ed. Let them come to the warehouse Of the Pc
| KIN TEA COMPANY, and compare samples oi
tea they get elsewhere; aud if they buy bad teas
then al high prices, il is their own fault.
An English importer lately boosted that he could
make more money ty serdng bad teas TO the N
Y. market Than on good teas. We are resolved
to overthrow this fraud and now call upon
gents IN every town in the United States TO CONT
forward and buy the TEAS imported 10y the Pc
KIN TEA COMPANY; and we pledge ourselves
that il in six months they do not sell more tel
than the oldest apd largest dealers in the town
we will give them our tea without aIy charge
This is the plain English and cannot De misunder
stood. We appeal Tor testimony to the Immense
success Of our agents in any part OF the United
States
6TAgents wanted in every town in the United
States 0r these teas, by which they can make
money, aud confer benefit on the public by sup
plying the pure article.
