To secure the Best 3s Tea in the province I have , selected from samples submitted by Melbourne and Auckland Merchants—they, of course, selecting each the best for their trade. I hare therefore chosen from a number of samples that which I believe to be the BEST, and purchased the WHOLE of that Particular Line, so that it will be impossible to obtain a better article elsewhere. It being essential that a beverage so universally used as Tea should be supplied of excellent quality, I therefore solicit a trial, confident that no other conclusion can be arrived at than McGOWAN'S for 3s TEA. Haring a supply of Cheaper Teas, Stores, Hotels, and wholesale buyers will be well treated. NORTH BRITISH AND MER. CANTILE INSURANCE COMTANT, London and Edinburgh. ESTABLISHED 1809.
