Saved by buying your Teas d.
rect from the Importers.
T. Y. KELLEY & CO.. Importers OF Teas, in
connection with their large wholesale business
have determined te Introduce their Teas
directly to consumers at importers prices,
thus effecting saving to the consumer of 40
to 60 per cent. Families can now club TO-.
gether for any kind or qualities of Teas, in
packages of one pound and upwards, and we
will send them q superior article of Tea at
per cent. above the cost of Importation
Let some energetic lady or other person in
each neighborhood call upon her acquaintan.
ces and take their orders for any of the fol-
lowing named Teas, and when club of ten,
twenty, or more is obtained, send to us and
we will send the Teas put up In separate
packages, with the name of each person
marked on it, all enclosed in one box As a
further inducement to the person getting up
the club We will send tor his or her services
ian extra complimentary package on all order,
of $50 and upward 1t is perhaps not well
understood WHY we can sell Teas so very low,
but when it is taken into consideration that
besides the original cost of importation, the
Broker, Speculator, Jobber, Wholesale Dealer
and Retailer, has each to reap large profit
and the innumerable Carriages, Cooperages,
assurances, Storages, &C., which Teas have to
pass through before they reach the consumer
will readily explain this. We propose to do
away with seven. eighths of these profits and
expenses, and it now remains with the people
to say whether they will save so cents to 81
per pound on every pound of Tea they pur-
chase, or be compelled to give their earnings
to host of useless go-betweens.
PEDLARs and SMALL DBALERs wishing Teas
to sell again, can be accommodated with small
packages to suit their trade, but no reduction
can be made, as these are our wholesale pri-
ces.
