Some-doubtful smiles are. very expressive, far more expressive than words, and
we have had more than our share of doubtful smiles
It was ail owing to the 35c tea. Hardly a
person believed it possible to see a straight
Japan tea at.from 10 to 15c per pound less
than they were accustomed to pay for it and
make a decent profit, but we have done it
and we are still doing It., VVe donJt blame
you for showing some doubt of our 35c tea.

have shown many people that a splendid tea
can  be bought for a great deal less than the
price people sometimes pay.  Wait a minute!
Before you pass over these statements do a
little thinking.    When this tea at 35c   has
such a reputation for flavor and strength,
what must the 50c tea  be?   Think  It over.
