Great Eastern Tea Company.
The Great Eastern Tea Company, 77 West Madison street, having made a still greater reduction in the prices of their teas and coffees, of which, together with spices of all kinds, they have the greatest variety to be found in Chicago, our friends from the country, and in the city, also, will do well to call at the Great Eastern Tea Store, before laying in their supplies in this line. The Great Eastern Tea Company, of Chicago, is a branch of the Company of the same name in New York, and are regularly supplied by the latter. Their object is to sell good goods at low prices, so as to build up an extensive Western trade. They have adopted all the proper means to compass that end, and we are glad to know that they are succeeding. Meanwhile their customers among the consumers of teas and coffees are being largely benefited,.
Chicago Evening Post, December 28, 1869
There has been perambulating our streets a few days a remarkably unique turn out, a delivery wagon of the Great Eastern Tea company. The back part of the vehicle is used to represent a Chinese house. The cover is habilimented in the Mongolian costume, supplied with the parasol or sunshade, and the horses, a splendid span, are covered with fine blankets. The establishment creates quite an interest among bewilders.
