that speculative resources of the mon

GRAND UNION ~.
TEA COMPANY
headquarters for tho Best Teas, cof-
fees, Extrasts, Baking Powder
Chocolate, Cocoa and Soaps.

This company was organized for
business in 1872. It. has in all 200
stores located in all the principal cities
Of America from Maine to California.
The headquarters Of the company
are on Pearl, Water and Front street,
Brooklyn Borough, New York.
The Duluth branch was established
in 1890 and the phenomenal success
and popularity of the company among
the citizens, both rich and poor, is an
evidence of the superior quality and
excellence Of its comrnod odNies.
The reason of the great success Of
the company in Duluth is a simple
one. 1t is just a case of getting pure
goods. We have scanned the resources
Of Duluth and have located a place
where these commodities are handled
exclusively and where none but the
best of supplies are carried in stock.
This, needless to say, is the Grand
Union Tea company, at 119 East Su-
perior street.
In it's present location it has 20 per
cent more floor space than it formerly
had.
No matter how much space is used
for advertising the stuffs which claim
to take the place Of tea and coffee,
the general public has learned to look
upon these parched beans, ground corn
husks, roasted bran, etc., as an abso-
lutte fake, a menace to the. inquisitive
public, and a terrible irritant. to a
mans stomach. >~.-- ~'-"
The world has -been pretty awell
searched for good things to eat and
! drink, and we have nothing tosupplant
| these popular beverages. In China
they drink tea as we would drink
| water In the south and in Cuba cof-
fee has just as common a use. In
both these places we find. the people
| live to be grand, healthy old people,
| and the conclusion is easily drawn
that good coffee and tea will hurt no
one.

and they; conduct the business in

and they conduct the business in a
creditable and: satisfactory way.
The rates charged by this company
are so reasonable that no family need
be without electric light in their home.
The superiority Of electricity over
other lights has long been admitted,
on account of it's convenience, clean
illness and healthfulness, and now
that it is also more economical, there
is no reason why it should not be in
every workingman's house. In fact
that is about the condition at present
in Duluth. and its. use is rapidly be-
coming universal. :,
The cost is even less than the old
kerosene lamp would cost, to say
nothing Of the dirt and smoke and
odor, and the loss Of time and the
annoyance caused by bro ken chimneys,
etc. 1t may well >,Ibe. said that cleo.
tricity is the working mans light and
should be in every home in the city.
The labor world., 1909-05-08

of business steadily pursued by this
enterprising concern, find vindication
in the fact that the volume of business
is increasing year by year. In 1908
the company did 25 per cent more
business than in any previous year,
and in 1908 they did about 80 per cent
more business than any othe-: year.
They employ from IS to 40 employees,
all of which are accorded the fair
est treatment Robert E. Carroll is
the manager of the Duluth Lumber
Co., and call over either phone will
receive courteous treatment and
prompt attention. :.
The indications are that the 1909
business will excel or equal that Of
1908, Notwithstanding the general de-
preston throughout the country. :.
The company is equipped with a
good line Of modern machinery in all
departments of work, and new ma
chimes embracing the latest improve
ments are constantly being added, to
give greater efficiency to the mill and
factory =, -. ~ s:ts :. g.. = :
