Tea Warehouse, 2, Bucklersbury, Cheapside, London. THIS Warehouse has been established a Quarter of a Century, and its successful progress during that period ha J_ gratified our anticipations. The patronage of the public has elevated its position to one of the LARGEST 1M THE TRADE. Our main object has been, and still is, to supply the public on Irade rerms and the facilities afforded by railway communication have also enabled us to do this to Consumers m all parts of the Kingdom* Free of Carriage. Great and assuming as such an undertaking appears to be. it is obvious that to do Business on a Wholesale Scale, it is necessary to have wholesale appliances. In conformity with these ideas, we took Premises in a Bye Thoroughfare, where space and accommodation are sufficient to carryon trade to any extent, but without those merciless and enormous expenses inseparably attached to retail shops in prominent situations, whereby an extravagant profit is rendered necessary. Hence it will be seen that we are in a position to supply the public on the Best and most Economical Terms—in fact, to supply at first hand, by which all intermediate profits are saved. The recent alteration in the lea Duties enables uw to make a general Reduction of Fourpence per pound on all descriptions of Tea, at the same time maintaining the qualities as previously. By our contiguity to the Tea Market, we alio avail ourselves of the advantages resulting from any fall in prices. The following are our present quotations:— BLACK TEAS. GREEN TEAS.

GLENFIELD'S PATENT STARCH Which is used in the Royal Laundry, and of which" Honourable Mention" was made at the Great Exhibition of1851, IS now so universally known to those who have given it a trial, that the Manufacturers deem it unnecessary to add a word in its favour, further than assuring its numerous Consumers that the PRICE and QUALITY remains as hitherto. # To those who have NOT yet made a trial of it, they would respectfully recommend their aoing so, for the following reasons, which to all unprejudiced minds must be sufficient :— 1st.—It is the ONLY Starch used in Her Majesty Laundry. (See testimonials from the Royal Laundress.) 2nd.—Being an article of easy solution, it requires no boiling; and hence a very great improvement on the old boiling kinds, such as Rice and Wheaten Starch. 3rd.—Its well-known qualities of ELASTICITY, STRENGTH, PURITY, and DURABILITY and 4th.-Its moderate Price, which places it within the reach of all classes.
