The Great American Tea Co.
ESTABLISHED 1861.
ENORMOUS PROFITS OF THE TEA TRADE.
The Proprietors became fully convinced, several years ago, that the consumers of Tea and Coffee were paying too many and too large profits on these articles of every day con- sumption, and therefore organized THE GREAT AMERICAN TEA COMPANY, to do away, as far as possible, with these enormons drains upon the Consumers, and to supply them with these necessaries at the smallest possible price.
To give our readers an idea of the profits which have been made in the Tea trade, we will start with the American Houses, leaving out of the account entirely the profits of the Chinese factors.
1st. The American House in China or Japan makes large profits on their sales or ship- ments- and some of the richest retired merchants in this country have made their immense fortunes through their Houses in China.
2d. The Banker makes large profits upon the foreign exchange used in the purchase of Teas.
3d. The Importer makes a profit of 30 to 50 per cent. in many cases.
4th. On its arrival here it is sold by the cargo, and the Purchaser sells it to the Specu- lator in invoices of 1,000 to 2,000 packages, at an average profit of about 10 per cent.
5th. The Speculator sells it to the Wholesale Tea Dealer in lines, at a profit of 10 to 15 per cent.
6th. The Wholesale Tea Dealer sells it to the Wholesale Grocer in lots to suit his trade, at a profit of about 10 per cent.
7th. The Wholesale Grocer sells it to the Retail Dealer at a profit of 15 to 25 per cent. 8th. The Retailer sells it to the consumer for all the profit he can get.
When you have added to these eight profits as many brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages, and waste, and add the original cost of the Tea, it will be perceived what the consumer has to pay. And now we propose to show why we can sell so very much lower than other dealers.
We propose to do away with all these various profits and brokerages, cartages, storages, cooperages and waste, with the exception of a small commission paid for purchasing to our correspondents in China and Japan, one cartage, and a small profit to ourselves-which, on our large sales, will amply pay us.
Parties getting their Teas from us may confidently rely upon getting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the Custom House stores to our warehouses.
The Company continue to sell at the following prices :
OOLONG (Black), 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90c., best $1 -
. - per lb. MIXED (Green and Black), 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, best $1 do ENGLISH BREAKFAST, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, $1, 81.10, best $1.20 do IMPERIAL (Green), 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 81, 81.10, best 1.25 do YOUNG HYSON (Green), 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, $1, $1.10, best $1.25 do UNCOLORED JAPAN, 90, $1, 1.10, best $1.25 do GUNPOWDER (Green), $1.25, best $1.50

COFFEES ROASTED AND GROUND DAILY.

THE MUTUAL BENEFIT Life Insurance Company,
NEWARK, N. J.
[ORGANIZED IN 1845.] [CHARTER PERPETUAL.]
Having paid losses on deceased members amounting to $5, 125,425, and declared in dividends to the living the sum of $6,002,839, with assets well secured amounting to over $12,000,000, has just declared its TWENTIETH annual dividend, being 50 per cent.
It continues to issue all classes of Life Policies, at the lowest rates consistent with perfect security to the members. Its distinguishing features are economy in expenditure, and care in its management.
It pays no stockholders for the use of capital, no bonuses or commissions to officers, and no immoderate compensation to agents.
All its Directors attend its meetings, and serve on its committees. Its risks are carefully selected so as to secure sound lives. It is careful in adjusting losses, and prompt in payment.
Its funds are invested with regard to security, never hazarding principal for interest ; hence it has never lost a dollar on its investments. After paying losses and expenses, and reserving the value of all outstanding policies, it has always made an annual dividend of return premiums to the members, and paid them when due
It is a " MUTUAL BENEFIT" Company, having but one class of members, all life policies, both new and old, sharing equally in the annual division of surplus receiving a dividend on every premium paid.
It endeavors, in brief, to act in all respects as a faithful trustee for the members Having for over twenty years pursued this course, it proposes to continue it in the future, and offers its advantages to all who desire to insure in a Company so conducted.
