AN APPEAL TO TEA DRINKERS OF ASHBURTON AND SURROUNDING DISTRICT. OWING- to the numerous pigments thrust npon ihe Public under all sorts of names, styles, and trademark., and which are sold under tbel guise of Pore Blended Tnas, the infusion of which must undoubtedly have a most serious and damaging effect upon the Physical and Nervous System, especially upon children and females, who generally indulge freely iv this unwholesome Beverage, m order to coup and frustrate the sale of this foreign substitute and place before the Publio a Nutritious and Unadulterated Article, we have procured and just landed some of the veiy Choicest Selections of Teas, almost free from insoluble ash. and coatainiog all the properties and delicate aroma congenial to the plant m its highest state of preservation, only attained by great care m selection. And whilst thus introducing our Teas, and m order to expedite their increasing demand, we present with every Pound of Tea a CCUPON which entitles the ho.der to participate m the Prizes whiblr will be awarded to the holders of the -finning Coupons. Hoping the Public of Ashburton will not feel antagonistic to thi*»* movement on account of some unscrupulous Firms issuing Counterfeit Coupons and Fictitious Prizes, but as ours are Genuine we hope all our Customers a the Public will avail themselves of this opportunity of securing a Prize m addition to the unsurpassed value m Tea. WE HAVE ALSO TO HAND,— Gocd Vabe m SUGARS, and numerous other Lines too large to detail, and we have all our Stock replete for Harvest demands. __ Hoping to see our Farming FrienA and Customers early and. often.
