Our CEYLON TEAS are remarkable for their Fine Flavour, several of our chops bring .urown at an elevation of 4750 feet above the sea. Although we have often been asked by canvassers and others to supply them with our Teas (less Ilia usual profit allowed by those who pack tea for small retailers, <&c ) we have distinctly refused, as we could not give the same value we nre now giving, and which we propose giving in the future, if we consented to their request. We wish to impress strongly upon tea driikers how desirable it is, if they want the CHOICEST TEAS at h reasonable price, not to purchase from tho=e who pack them to carry so many profits, but to forward their orders direct to us, who only put ONE SMALL PROFIT on our TEAS. per lb.
