General Notices , — 'XMAS — AT McGO WAN'S. Important Notice. TVyrOST People areaware that I do not give 'iMAS BOXES. ? I propose doing a better thing, viz., for ONE MONTH to present a "j ' MACNIFICIENT CHROMOGRAPH measuring 24 x 18 inchoß, to .Every Purchaser of ONE POUND of my Celebrated 3s. Tea. 1 How it can be done. I devote a considerable cum annually to advertising, «md this proposal will return to my patrons a share of the profits of the advertisements; they receiving, in the form of a renlly good picture, that which in the ordinary course would go to the newspaper;. How it is to pay me. To reap a harvest, somebody must bow, and run the risk attendant upon a crop. I expect the harvest from the increasing number of people who will try my 3s. Tea, and, having once found the superior quality thereof, they will ÜBe none other. Why I do it. Because the people who give me their money are better entitled to a share of the profits than the newspapers, who simply advertise for me. TEA IS MY SPECIALITY ' —MY HOBBY. W 3s« TEA .&» AT .
