KINCAmS Cr.T.O., 161, COLOMBO STREET. TEAS. WE wish to draw special attention to our TEAS, which we import from the choicest districts of China, India and Ceylon. Our CEYLON TEAS are remarkable for their Fine Flavour, several of -our chops being grown 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 tha usual profit allosved by those who pack tea for small retailers, &c ) we have distinctly refused, as we could not give the same value we are now giving, and which we propose giving in the future, if we consentc-d ;o their request. We wish to impress strongly lipon tea dritkers how desirable it is, if they ■ want the CHOICEST TEAS at a reasonable prrce, not to purchase from , thoee 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 A good strong Family Tea ...
