A Visit to a Tea Warehouse.
A visit to Nelson, Moate and Co.'s Tea Bond on the South Belt and their Indian and Ceylon Tea warehouse, in Colombo street, will go ft long way towards confirming the statement that their business is one of the largest of its kind in Australasia, a perusal of the Customs House re« turns of the colonies shows it to be one of the most extensive in the world in comparison with the population of the colony. One of the largest firms in England advertise that their sales are lib out of every 251 b sold in England; whereas Nelson, Moate, and Co. aver that they sell, through the grocers, nearly lib to every 41b sold in New Zealand, and this in the face of the greatest competition, for there are far more packet teas on the New Zealand market and more firms competing in cooiparision with the output of the countries. The firm are direct importers of Indian and Ceylon teas, and posses the largest stocks and variety to select from in the colonies, and supply the trade first hand, so the public who purchase N.M. and Co.'s tfeas from grocers can depend upon getting an article as direct from the garden to the teapot as it is possible to get tea. ____ ____
