 The readers of the JOURNAL AND COURIER have good idea of the whereabouts, sayings and doings of the leading men and women of the country, so it seems to us that perhaps
 little information as to the things which in terest the common masses will not come an1iss. The desire to make money iu some
 shape we believe to be part and parcel of the
 makeup of the average American citizen. This has been forcibly illustrated here in New Haven for the past three weeks. The first of October there appeared in all the daily and weekly papers advertisements coV- ering about column in each paper, setting forth the merits of a certain kind of Tea and Coffee, announcing that store was open for the sale of the same; tRat in every can of Tea and Coffee an article of value would be found. The people bought, and that they obtained good quality of goods and that some of the articles were valuable. What was | the result Those who obtained articles of value showed them to others. They in turn purchased and the store was crowded from morning until 10:30 at night. The manager, evidently smart business man, paid out large sums for advertising, varying the style of notice and each day giving the names of 1 the fortunate buyers. Everyone, high and
 low, rich and poor, purchased Tea and Cof- i fee, the papers gave the list of the fortunate onss, and we would read Senator Smith, $5o in gold; John Smith (colored) $50 in can of l tea. Evidently everything was conducted l fairly, and those not finding diamonds, 1 watches, money, etc, got their moneys worth in Tea and Coffee, as the tea cans con- tained II and the coffee cans 3 pounds.
 This company has appointed more than fifty agents in various cities, none of whom are now selling other articles than TEA and COFFEE, yet each agent has large and rapidly growing trade as the superior quality of their goods becomes known. Orders by
 mail should be accompanied by cash ar will hn if
 ly filled and forwarded to all parts of the United States. Address Importers Tea Co.,,
